About

Start with the business problem. 

We clarify the workflow, compare relevant providers and identify what your team needs to verify before choosing a solution. The first output is a reasoned assessment and a defined evaluation scope. Client marks represent our team’s project experience. Discuss your use case.

Map the Payment Workflow

Example: a Korean company needs to pay overseas suppliers. Map funding, conversion and bank delivery, then mark which step a blockchain provider could support.

Compare the Providers That Fit

Request each candidate’s supported transaction flow, API documentation, fee schedule and reconciliation sample. Record what each provider can demonstrate and the reason it fits.

Resolve Your Team’s Questions

Your finance and operations teams ask about payout cutoffs, failed transfers and reconciliation. Each question goes to the provider’s product, operations or security owner, with the response evidence attached.

Put First Pilot Terms on Paper

Bring the payment flow, sample transaction, open requirements and responsible teams to a focused workshop. Agree the pilot scope, roles, timeline and success criteria with the provider you choose.

See Where a Provider Fits in Your Workflow.

Ask each provider for evidence your team can inspect: one supported transaction, the final bank record, matching identifiers and the failed-transfer response. Our research paper Stablecoin Payments in Asia explains why a token transfer alone does not establish usable bank cash. Keep missing documents and untested steps visible before the review.

Start with the Existing Payout Process.

Record the payer, recipient, currencies, funding method and existing payout provider. Your team identifies the operating change worth evaluating; each provider explains where its product fits.
Trace the money and the responsibilities.

Funding and settlement

Who provides the initial balance, performs conversion and delivers bank funds? Ask the provider to identify the entities and supported transaction path.

Reconciliation and systems

How does your team match a payment request with the final payout? Collect the reference fields, sample report and interface requirements for your existing system.

Exceptions and support

Who responds when funding, conversion or payout fails? Request the escalation route and the provider’s stated support responsibility.

What We Check on the Provider Side.

From “It Works” to a Supported Transaction.

Ask for one sample transaction from funding to bank delivery, the associated interface fields and a reconciliation record. Mark available evidence, provider statements and untested assumptions separately.

A company and provider review agenda

Use your team’s three operating questions (cutoff, failure handling and reconciliation) to set the agenda. The provider’s product and operations owners prepare the answers; Panasia coordinates the materials and session.

A defined workshop outcome

Record the supported transaction path, requirements that remain open and the proposed test objective. Identify who could implement, operate and review that scope before any pilot commitment.

Use Your Team’s Feedback to Refine the Pilot Plan.

The second cycle starts after your team responds. One reconciliation question becomes an evidence request, a provider answer, a revised pilot plan and a defined follow-up.

FROM TEAM QUESTION TO REVISED PILOT PLANTEAM FEEDBACK LOOP

00 | 04

Your team asks for reconciliation

“How will our operations team match the bank payout to the original payment request?” Record the required identifier and report format.

Provider supplies the sample

The product owner supplies a sample record and explains the interface fields. The operations owner identifies exceptions and manual steps.

Pilot plan specifies the handoff

Update the workflow with the agreed identifier, reporting format and response owner. Keep any unsupported requirement visible for your team.

Your team reviews the remaining gap

Use the revised sample in a workshop or request further product evidence. Record whether the requirement is satisfied and what decision follows.

Use Your Team’s Feedback to Refine the Pilot Plan.

A Record of the Requirement and the Response.

For each question from your team, retain the requested evidence, provider response, sample or document link and remaining gap. Your team can see what changed before the next provider discussion. Panasia keeps this record within the agreed scope; each response stays attributed to the provider or specialist who gave it. No Panasia adoption engagement is published yet. The example on this page is illustrative; its evidence is in Panasia Research.
