THE CHALLENGE

An open marketplace, open to risk

When every listing is one of a kind, moderation cannot rely on product codes or keyword filters. Evaluating images, descriptions, reviews, and seller behavior requires contextual AI. With DSA, OSA, and emerging US obligations expanding, the pressure on existing enforcement systems is real.

Authenticity at Risk

Distinguishing genuine handmade and vintage items from mass-produced imports or undisclosed AI art across millions of listings.

Seller False Flags

Aggressive automation suspends legitimate artisans without clear explanation, eroding seller trust and driving your best creators away.

Regulatory Pressure

Meeting DSA transparency requirements, OSA protections for minors, and emerging US compliance rules across a global seller base.

Why not build in-house?

"We built our own models"

Custom classifiers handle known violations. But new threats like undisclosed AI listings and shifting regulations demand constant retraining. Checkstep complements your stack so engineers stay on marketplace features.

"Moderation is core to us"

Policy and enforcement should stay core. But the infrastructure underneath does not need rebuilding every time regulations shift. Checkstep provides the engine; you keep full control.

"We need full control"

Checkstep is API-first and fully whitelabel. You own the policies, the data, and every enforcement decision. We provide the moderation engine that makes your rules work at marketplace scale.

Faster Deployment

Go live in weeks with pre-trained models and flexible APIs built for marketplace scale.
