Journey fit
This tool belongs in the build phase because it solves a specific technical integration need for processing financial transactions compliantly. The integrations subphase is ideal because VAT validation is a specialized service that integrates into larger payment or invoicing workflows rather than being a core product feature.
How it compares
MCP VAT and fraud-risk validation layer, not a complete accounting or ERP replacement.
