Unlike traditional systems that flood analysts with duplicates, we deliver explainable, regulator-ready alerts with dramatically fewer false positives.
Most systems treat every news article as a separate alert. We automatically group all versions of the same news story into one single case.
✓ No alert floods from syndicated or copied news. One story = one alert = less noise for analysts.
We don't just compare exact titles. We also catch slightly rewritten headlines, paraphrased news, and syndicated versions from different publishers.
✓ Far fewer repeated alerts. Cleaner and more reliable adverse media results.
We analyze the headline first to decide if an article is likely relevant before downloading the full content.
✓ Faster processing, lower infrastructure cost. Most irrelevant content filtered out early.
We combine rule-based checks, keyword logic, traditional ML, and AI only when needed for ambiguity.
✓ Lower AI cost, more stable results, explainable decisions for compliance teams.
Once a negative news story is already indexed, we remember it and prevent duplicate alerts.
✓ No repeated alerts for the same historical case. Cleaner long-term screening results.
We give higher importance to official and reputable publishers.
✓ Better quality alerts, fewer low-quality sources, higher confidence in results.
Our system runs continuously and updates itself as new news arrives.
✓ Near real-time detection. No batch delays. Always-fresh monitoring.
For every alert, we store why it was flagged, how it was classified, whether it was a duplicate, which rules or AI applied.
✓ Regulator-ready audit trails. Easy explanations to stakeholders.
