# Guides overview

Step-by-step procedures and compliance context.

Guides walk through a procedure from start to finish, or explain the legal context for a check. Product pages say what a check does; guides say how to carry it out well.

## Process guides

* [Criminal record checks with a fingerprint device](/guides/process-guides/criminal-record-checks.md): set up a fingerprint device, capture fingerprints, submit and track checks.

## Compliance guides

* [Credit checks and prescribed purposes](/guides/compliance-guides/credit-checks-and-prescribed-purposes.md): why purpose matters, the permitted purposes and your obligations.

Use-case guides, such as employee screening, customer onboarding (KYC) and business onboarding (KYB), will follow.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.fraudcheck.co.za/guides/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
