SanctionMatch Wants to Make Sanctions Screening Legible to Machines

Field notes

The proposed workflow separates name matching from the customer’s eventual compliance decision: an API would return possible sanctions-list candidates, a match degree, and the reasoning behind it. The page also promises customer-controlled thresholds and says submitted strings would be discarded after the response. It explicitly excludes transaction stopping, freezing, and identity verification, positioning the service as an inspectable screening component rather than an automated compliance authority. Availability and list coverage remain unverified because the service is still pre-launch.
