Top candidate matches

Methodology

Scores combine spelling similarity and shared name tokens. They support manual review.

Methodology

  • Names are normalized before matching so punctuation, accents, casing, and spacing do not dominate the result.
  • The score combines edit distance, token overlap, containment, and alias matching instead of relying on a single fuzzy metric.
  • Results are ranked, explained, and kept in human-review mode: candidate matches only, never a final sanctions verdict.

Guardrails

  • This is not a production screening tool.
  • It does not decide whether someone is sanctioned.
  • Scores describe name similarity, not the probability of a sanctions match.
