Learn about input and output data

Input record data

The input data relates to the individual or organization screened for sanctions or existence on Public Exposed Persons (PEP) lists. The Business Process uses this data as input for screening.

Various screening systems may need different fields. For example, Dow Jones (DJ) only requires the value from input_full_name.

Remember to provide the data as a CSV file.

Model decision data per hit entity

The Name Sanctions Screening AI Agent matches inputs and tries to ascertain whether the generated hit is indeed a true hit, one of the many generated false hits, or if the provided information is insufficient for the decision. The matching logic inside the process informs the output fields.

FieldDescription
resolution_input_decisionOverall decision for full alert or case.
  • No hits: there are no hit entities for the screened record.
  • Needs further review: at least one hit entity is marked as Need more information.
  • Cleared Alert: all hit entities are marked as False positive.
resolution_input_detailsDetails on the status explanation. Contains data about the number of hits marked as False positive or Need more information.
resolution_hit_decisionMachine Learning (ML) model decision.
  • 0: False positive
  • 1: Need more information
resolution_hit_confidenceML model's confidence in the taken decision.
resolution_hit_explanationHuman-readable explanation of the model decision.
resolution_hit_field_typeML model's decision on the record type field:
  • 0: mismatch
  • 1: match
  • 2: not enough information
resolution_hit_field_nameML model's decision on the name field, name matching similarity. Possible values from 0..1, where:
  • 1: full match
  • 0: mismatch
resolution_hit_field_genderML model's decision on the gender field:
  • 0: mismatch
  • 1: match
  • 2: not enough information
resolution_hit_field_dateML model's decision on the date field:
  • 0: mismatch
  • 1: match
  • 2: not enough information
resolution_hit_field_addressML model's decision on the address field:
  • 0: mismatch
  • 1: match
  • 2: not enough information

Output contract

You can invoke the core Names Screening Business Process in two primary ways:

External communication

For external communication, the AlertResponse Data Transfer Object (DTO) is exposed. The exposed data is restricted to protect sensitive internal details.

The response is a sanitized JSON object containing the following fields:

Field nameDescriptionSource
inputIdUnique identifier for the alert decision or input.alertDecision.getId()
clientIdClient identifier associated with the transaction.clientId
alertResolutionFinal alert resolution, for example, RELEASE or POTENTIAL.alertDecision.getResolution() (readable value)
alertExplanationExplanation or reasoning behind the resolution.alertDecision.getExplanation()
hitsList of associated hits (matches).List of HitResponse objects
qcReportLinkLink to the quality check report (if available).qcReports.getReportLink()
htmlReportLinkLink to the HTML report (if available).htmlReportLink

Each item in the hits list includes the following fields:

  • hitId: unique identifier for the hit.

  • hitResolution: resolution for the specific hit.

  • hitExplanation: explanation for the hit resolution.

  • hitScore: match score.

The response also includes worker details (workerId, workerFirstName, and workerLastName) if they are present in the input task data. This helps track manual review outcomes.

When the provider is Firco Trust, a specialized response format is used. This logic takes precedence over the standard external communication if the provider identifier matches.

The response focuses on report links extracted from the input data.

Field nameTypeDescription
report_linkList<String>List of report links aggregated from the input data.

Internal communication

For internal communication, such as when one connector invokes the Names Screening BP directly, a more comprehensive data set is returned. This allows the calling connector to parse the results and utilize internal processing data that is not suitable for external exposure.

The internal result includes the following fields:

Field nameTypeDescription
wle_listListFull list of WLEs.
screened_dataScreenedDataOriginal data that was screened.
alert_resolutionStringRaw alert resolution value, for example, POTENTIAL or FALSE_POSITIVE.
auto_qcBooleanFlag indicating whether automatic quality check was performed.
html_report_linkStringURL to the generated HTML report.
qc_reportsQcReportDTODetailed QC report object.

Quality Check report

Each Business Process execution produces a Quality Check (QC) report containing information for further human review or reconciliation. The report is saved in MinIO S3 under doc-upload/name-sanctions-screening/QC_Reports/{year}/{month}/ QC_Names-Screening-<<yyyy-MM-dd_HH-MM-SS>>.csv.

A QC report contains input as customer information, hit data found in the screening system, and records specific to the screening system. The timestamp in the report name indicates the time when the BP was run.

note
  • By default, you might not have permission to access the S3 bucket. To get the permissions, create a Support ticket.

  • In case a QC report contains large data amounts, it is divided and saved in several parts, where each part is no more than 50 MB large.

The QC report contains the following columns:
