## Use Cases

### KYC Verification Check

Retrieve a customer entity to check their KYC status before approving a transaction:

```javascript theme={null}
const entity = await fetch(`http://api.gu1.ai/entities/${customerId}`, {
  headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' }
}).then(res => res.json());

if (entity.kycVerified && entity.status === 'active') {
  // Proceed with transaction
  console.log('Customer verified, risk score:', entity.riskScore);
} else {
  // Request additional verification
  console.log('KYC verification required');
}
```

### Risk Score Monitoring

Check the current risk score and factors for ongoing monitoring:

```python theme={null}
entity = requests.get(
    f'http://api.gu1.ai/entities/{entity_id}',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'}
).json()

if entity['riskScore'] > 70:
    # High risk - trigger enhanced due diligence
    print(f"High risk entity detected: {entity['riskScore']}")
    print("Risk factors:", entity['riskFactors'])
elif entity['riskScore'] > 40:
    # Medium risk - apply additional monitoring
    print(f"Medium risk entity: {entity['riskScore']}")
```

### Evaluation Results Analysis

Access the latest AI evaluation to understand assessment details:

```javascript theme={null}
const entity = await fetch(`http://api.gu1.ai/entities/${entityId}`, {
  headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' }
}).then(res => res.json());

if (entity.currentEvaluation) {
  console.log('Evaluation confidence:', entity.currentEvaluation.confidence);
  console.log('Recommendation:', entity.currentEvaluation.result.recommendation);
  console.log('Risk assessment:', entity.currentEvaluation.result.overallRisk);
}
```
