Screeningthatresolvesits own hits.
For mortgage & protection networks, wealth firms and lenders whose teams clear watchlist hits by hand — or whose boards have been quoted a bureau bundle to make the problem go away. Curvestone screens every individual and company, investigates every hit the way an analyst would, and returns the one genuine answer with the evidence attached.
Screening was never the problem. The hits are.
What screening teams live with
- Fuzzy name-matching lights up every common name — 23 possible hits across 72 names on a real run.
- Every hit lands on a compliance analyst’s desk for manual investigation.
- So firms compromise: sample instead of screening everyone, or buy a bureau bundle priced for a board paper.
- Senior managers carry personal accountability under SM&CR for a process they can’t fully evidence.
What it costs
- Hours of analyst time per batch — spent overwhelmingly on people who were never the person on the list.
- Inconsistent clearing: two analysts, two conclusions, no standard.
- No retrievable evidence trail when the FCA asks how a hit from last March was cleared.
- A binary budget choice: an enterprise bureau bundle, or quiet under-screening. Most firms pick quietly.
72 names in. One genuine match out — evidenced.
A UK specialist lender sent us 72 names. Conventional screening flagged 23 possible PEP hits. Our agent verified each one against registries, news, biographies and imagery — and confirmed the single genuine match, with a cited report for every decision.
From name list to evidenced verdict.
Screens
Individuals and companies checked against global PEP and sanctions lists — as a batch via spreadsheet, per applicant inside your file checks, or on demand. Where you already contract bureau lists, they’re orchestrated into the same run.
Investigates every hit
The agent does what a good analyst does: registries, news archives, biographies, imagery, date of birth, role and geography — tying each hit to the right person or ruling it out.
Returns a verdict with evidence
One cited report per hit: who the match is, why the others aren’t, every source linked. Conservative defaults — genuine risk always reaches a human.
Logs everything
Sources queried, results returned, who reviewed, who signed off — retrievable months later, built for SM&CR and FCA scrutiny.
Built for the people who carry the risk.
For the SMF16 holding the risk
When the FCA asks how 23 possible hits were cleared, the evidence trail exists for every one — and it took your team minutes, not days.
For the board signing the budget
A controls uplift inside the case checks you already run — live in weeks, without a second procurement.
For the analysts clearing the queue
They stop investigating ghosts. The one real match per batch arrives with the report already written.
Three ways to run it.No rip-and-replace.
As a batch
Send a spreadsheet of names and get an evidenced verdict back on each.
