The Challenge
Vetting backlogs leave cleared posts unfilled for months while adjudicators chase missing forms. It persists because case files arrive incomplete from many sources and nobody sees the queue as a whole.
How It Works
- Reads vetting application forms, referee returns, employment histories and checklists.
- Scores each case for completeness and complexity and sequences the queue by post urgency.
- Gives adjudicators a prepared case summary and a ranked queue, leaving each decision to them.
What It Removes
- Manual completeness checks on each case file
- Chasing applicants and referees for missing forms
- First-in-first-out working of the vetting queue
Input Data RequirementsVetting application forms, referee returns, employment and residence histories, policy checklists, post urgency data, case management records

“Half of a vetting officer's week goes on finding which form is missing rather than on judgement”
