Global AML Screening Index

Real-time AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance risk screening for any country.

Purpose

This Actor provides comprehensive AML compliance screening by aggregating 4 authoritative data sources:

• World Bank WGI - Governance indicators (corruption, rule of law, political stability)
• GDELT - AML-related news sentiment and volume (past 30 days)
• State Department - Travel advisory levels (proxy for geopolitical risk)

Produces a single AML Risk Score (0-100) with component weights:

1. OFAC Active Sanctions (40%)
2. State Department Advisory Level (30%)
3. World Bank Governance (20%)
4. GDELT AML News Volume (10%)
