        Analyze adverse media
        We monitor thousands of media sources for negative mentions and use contextual logic to filter and categorize results. Matches are tagged with the relevant category, such as enforcements, criminal charges, or penalties, for easy identification.
        Speed up AML screening with LLM context notes
        We use a Large Language Model (LLM) to perform AML match analysis and provide clear review notes attached to the match. The algorithm checks names, dates, roles, media context, and other risk signals to help arrive at a match status. It stays cautious when data is thin, and supports faster decisions while ensuring auditability.
