Yes. Our agentic AI pipeline extracts and maps relationships between entities involved in the same risk events.
Relationship Data Includes:
- Relationship Type: associate, director, co-defendant, family member, business partner, etc.
- Description: Brief explanation of how entities are connected

🔧 Technical & Integration
API capabilities and integration details
Our search engine uses advanced matching techniques to ensure you never miss a risk, even with typos or name variations:
- Fuzzy Matching: Automatically catches typos and misspellings (e.g., "Clintn" matches "Clinton", "Smythe" matches "Smith").
- Phonetic Search: Finds names that sound similar but are spelled differently across languages (e.g., "Mohammed" matches "Muhammad", "Yeltsin" matches "Eltsin").
- Cultural Name Variations: Searches across all known aliases including nicknames and cultural variations (e.g., "Vladimir" matches "Vova", "Francisco" matches "Paco", "James" matches "Jimmy").
- Flexible Date of Birth Matching: Enter dates in any format you have - year only (1975), month-year (05-1975), or full date (1975-05-15). The system uses flexible matching: if an entity has conflicting birth information (e.g., years 1983 and 1987), searching for 1986 will still match because it falls within the range.
- Comprehensive Location Search: The location field searches across
ALL geographic and location-related data:
- For Persons: Nationality, citizenship, dual citizenship, country of birth, residence, country of residence, and crime locations
- For Organizations: Headquarters, registered locations, operating locations, residence country, and crime locations
- For Aircraft: Origins, destinations, routes, associated locations, and crime locations
- For Vessels: Home ports, destinations, routes, headquarters, and crime locations
- Smart Relevance Scoring: Results are ranked by relevance:
- Exact name matches rank highest (3x boost)
- Alias matches get medium priority (2x boost)
- Country and date of birth matches add bonus points
- Match scores are normalized to 0-100% for easy comparison
Example: Searching for "Cassiano" with location "BR" will find entities named "Cassiano" or similar variations who have ANY connection to Brazil - whether it's their nationality, residence, headquarters, crime location, or any other geographic association. Results are ranked by relevance.
Yes. We provide bulk exports and periodic data snapshots for partners who prefer direct ingestion into their systems.
âś… Data Quality & Accuracy
How we ensure high-quality, reliable data
We cluster duplicate articles, unify name variations, and resolve aliases. That way, one risk event is captured once — not repeated under different spellings or sources.
Our multi-agent system uses context-aware matching (birth dates, locations, associated entities) to distinguish between people with the same name, achieving an 85% reduction in false positives compared to keyword-based systems.
We operate a takedown and correction process. Every record includes provenance — source URL, publish date, language, and reliability — so it can be verified and audited transparently.
Requests for removal or correction are reviewed against source documentation and processed according to applicable data protection regulations.
Our collection agents continuously crawl global sources, with fresh data ingested every 24 hours. For enterprise clients with real-time monitoring enabled, webhook notifications are sent within minutes of new adverse media appearing.
We process content in 25+ languages with automatic translation. Our entity resolution agents can link entities across different language spellings and scripts (Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, etc.).
We monitor 9,000+ news sources across 30+ countries, providing comprehensive global coverage for adverse media screening.
Top coverage regions:
- United States: 3,400+ sources
- Brazil: 1,422 sources
- United Kingdom: 899 sources
- Canada: 793 sources
- Russia: 448 sources
We also have strong coverage in Mexico, Australia, Spain, Italy, France, Netherlands, Germany, India, China, Japan, and 15+ additional countries.
