Your first week
What an Admin sets up once, and what everybody else does on their first case.
Two different first weeks. Standing Cogentic up is an Admin's job and happens once. Working cases is everybody's and starts as soon as the first alert lands.
If you are standing it up
All of this lives under Settings, in the menu under your name. You need Admin or Owner.
- 1
Connect your vendors
Settings, then Integrations. Cogentic screens against what you connect here and nothing else.
- 2
Publish your SOPs
Settings, then Policies. Upload them and Cogentic reads and publishes each one. The agent works to what is published, so check the list afterwards.
- 3
Push your customers
Issue a token under Settings, then API tokens. Have your systems push customers and their declared wallets with it. Until they do, a case can tell you what an address has touched but not whose it is.
- 4
Set your priorities
Settings, then Priorities. These decide what surfaces first in Today.
- 5
Add a report template
Settings, then Reporting. You can decide a case without one. You cannot produce a report without one.
- 6
Invite the team
Settings, then Members. Everybody you invite can work every case, so invite the people who should see them.
If you are working cases
- 1
Start in Today
Today is where you start. Three of its four lists are yours; Alerts for review is the organisation's untriaged queue.
- 2
Open a case and read Summary top to bottom
The panels are in a fixed order, running from what came in through to what you decided. Read it in that order the first few times.
- 3
Open a source
Click the source on any finding. Do this once on your first case. It is the fastest way to learn how much of the page is the agent's wording and how much is the vendor's.
- 4
Add what the agent could not reach
A bank statement, a letter, a call you made. Put it on the case so the decision rests on the whole picture.
- 5
Decide
The Decision panel sits at the bottom of Summary, under the agent's recommendation. Five outcomes. Two close the case.

The investigation loop
The shape of an investigation from open to report. Every other page in this section is one step of it, closer up.
Uploading your procedures
Your SOPs and policies go in Settings, where the agent reads them and cites the section it applied. A document it cannot find is not Live yet.
Connecting a vendor
An investigation calls the vendors you have connected and no others.
