- Ability to better leverage crowd-sourced information for real-time decision making
- Automated enterprise support and improved registration process for call originators

- Augmented Call Guardian analytics engine through the ingestion of the STIR/SHAKEN verstat parameter – identifying whether calls have been validated by a carrier
