Supplier onboarding
Supplier onboarding recruits Suppliers: applications, identity and background checks, tax details, Agreements and a first assignment.
A Supplier goes active only when every check has passed.

Compliance notes
Each Supplier is verified by Stripe before the first payout and signs their Agreement before the first job; who to accept stays the founder’s.
Controls it carries:
- Worker competence
- Fraud screening
- Authenticated Actions
- Task-bound access
- Boundary protection
- Upstream review
- Action completion

Example
A Marketplace of video editors receives 90 applications in a week at /join. Supplier onboarding verifies identity, runs background checks on the 40 who pass a test edit, collects tax details and signs each Agreement. The first job goes out the day a Supplier activates.
