# Industry classification review tasks

> Understand the review tasks for industry classification.

Middesk summarizes industry classification results as review tasks on the Business object's `review.tasks` array. These tasks turn raw industry data into a single decision-ready outcome — useful when your underwriting flow needs to flag businesses operating in restricted or higher-risk verticals (for example, cannabis, gambling, or money services).

Each task carries a `status`, a `sub_label`, and a human-readable `message`. Combined with the underlying [`industry_classification` object](/reference/industry-classification), you have both the summary signal and the full classification detail with NAICS, SIC, and MCC codes.

This page describes the industry classification review task types, statuses, and messages.

## Industry classification review task

Identify if the business operates in a high-risk industry category.

| category | key      | status  | sub\_label | message                                                       |
| -------- | -------- | ------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| industry | industry | Success | No Hits    | This business likely does not operate in a high risk industry |
| industry | industry | Failure | Hits       | Middesk believes the company may operate in "X" industry      |
