gateHKAMLO — Hong Kong AMLO / Schedule 2 Decision Gate
// The problem

A reporting unit jointly run by two authorities requires its own check logic.

The Joint Financial Intelligence Unit is a joint body of the Hong Kong Police Force and the Customs and Excise Department, not a purely financial regulator. gateHKAMLO checks the JFIU filing as its own cluster, separate from HKMA/SFC alignment.

MLRO as a Hong-Kong-specific designation, not interchangeable
The Money Laundering Reporting Officer is the Hong Kong-specific designation for the compliance officer, with its own legal anchoring in Schedule 2. The gate checks the designation under this exact name, not as a generic placeholder.
// Architecture

5 clusters, checked sequentially.

Every cluster is dispositive (material_block_mode: true), a hit blocks bindingly, not merely for documentation.

CLUSTER 1
CDD / KYC
Checks customer due diligence and know-your-customer procedures at 120,000 HKD or more.
cdd_120000hkd
CLUSTER 2
MLRO Designation
Checks the designation of a Money Laundering Reporting Officer under Schedule 2.
mlro_designated
CLUSTER 3
JFIU Filing
Checks the filing with the joint Financial Intelligence Unit of police and customs.
jfiu_filed_if_required
CLUSTER 4
HKMA / SFC Alignment
Checks alignment with Hong Kong Monetary Authority and Securities and Futures Commission requirements.
hkma_aligned · sfc_aligned
CLUSTER 5
UN Sanctions Screening
Checks UN sanctions, implemented via HKMA and the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau.

No case, no doubt
Every cluster returns its own sealed result. A single hit in an active cluster is enough to block the overall action.
// Test results

Two tested scenarios.

// Clarification

What gateHKAMLO is not.

  • Not automatic recognition by HKMA or SFC. The gate delivers a cryptographic proof, not regulatory confirmation.
  • Not a replacement for the actual filing with the JFIU. The gate seals the pre-check, it does not itself file with the unit.

For Hong Kong financial intermediaries that want to make JFIU filing and dual supervision provable.

GATE CATALOG · REGULATORY DETERMINATION DOMAIN

gateHKAMLO

gateHKAMLO determines encoded Hong Kong AML/CTF, customer, intermediary and transaction conditions. The gate contributes a bound regulatory determination state; it creates neither regulatory authority nor Execution Permission.

DOMAIN_DETERMINATION_ONLY = true · EXECUTION_AUTHORITY = false · EXECUTION_PERMISSION = false
gateHKAMLO regulatory determination domain
AUTHORITY BOUNDARY

HK AML STATE IS NOT REGULATORY AUTHORITY.

CAN

  • deterministically evaluate encoded regulatory conditions
  • bind determinations to source, scope, time and input state
  • surface missing, expired or conflicting regulatory dependencies
  • produce attributable evidence for the concrete determination

CANNOT

  • replace a regulator, supervisor, court or competent institution
  • create legal or regulatory authority through score, consensus, AI or administration
  • turn a gate PASS into an Execution Right on its own
  • mint an ExecutionCapabilityToken on its own
REGULATORY STATE

Regulatory determination is evidence. Not regulatory authority.

SOURCE

Authoritative source

The relevant rule must originate outside the system from a legitimate normative or institutional source.

SCOPE

Defined matter

The determination is limited to the encoded subject, entity, transaction or operation under review.

TIME

Point-in-time state

Effective dates, transition periods, expiry and version state remain explicit.

INPUT

Canonical input

A reproducible determination requires a defined canonical input state.

DEPENDENCY

Dependencies

Missing or contradictory dependencies remain visible rather than being converted into invented permission.

EVIDENCE

Bound evidence

The resulting state can be bound to source, input, scope and time for later verification.

RELATED DETERMINATION DOMAINS

Regulatory domains compose. They do not confer authority on one another.

Only scope-relevant determinations become dependencies in Execution Rights resolution. The links shown are not a universally mandatory sequence.

EXECUTION RIGHTS

Five dimensions. Regulatory state can inform them; no gate replaces them.

INVARIANT

A regulatory PASS is a determination. Never a permission by itself.
