How Can Compliance Teams Determine Whether Adverse Media Is Relevant to a Customer?
The agent evaluates each article in context, using subject matching, source credibility, severity, and recency to assess whether reported activity represents meaningful financial crime risk. This ensures only substantiated, policy-relevant signals are carried forward into investigations.

Apply adverse media risk standards consistently across investigations
Traditional keyword-based screening tools surface large volumes of articles but provide limited insight into relevance or materiality.
As a result, investigators spend significant time manually reviewing news coverage, slowing investigations, increasing operational burden, and limiting the ability to scale adverse media screening effectively.
How the Adverse News Agent Works
Rather than relying on keyword matches alone, the Adverse News Agent applies investigator-level reasoning to evaluate adverse media, assessing context, credibility, and materiality.
