FAQ

Q: How does fuzzy name matching work? A: The system screens entity names against OFAC and OpenSanctions using their built-in fuzzy matching (Levenshtein distance, transliteration). This catches variant spellings but may produce false positives — review match confidence scores.

Q: What's the difference between this and counterparty-due-diligence? A: This MCP focuses specifically on AML/CFT compliance with criminal watchlists and proximity-to-crime scoring. Counterparty due diligence is broader, including corporate structure analysis and digital presence verification.

Q: Is it legal to use this for compliance screening? A: This tool accesses only publicly available data. It is designed to assist compliance workflows. See Apify's guide on web scraping legality.
