Add watchlist names
Enter first, middle and last names, plus optional aliases. One person uses one slot even when alternate spellings are attached.
How it works
A careful workflow from publication to private review.
The system automates collection and comparison. It never replaces human identity verification.
Collect published lists
The Azure scheduled job rediscovers enabled sources, downloads new or changed lists and stores readable text in PostgreSQL.
Run strict matching
Exact whole-name and alias matching is applied first. Similar-name matching is constrained by surname and first initial to reduce false positives.
Review potential matches
Each result includes the published source, list date, matched text and excerpt. Customers confirm or dismiss the result themselves.
Scan historical archives
A button on the watchlist queues a background scan across past stored documents. Historical matches are labelled and do not send a flood of old alerts.
Important limitation
A name match does not prove identity, guilt, conviction or outcome. Court lists can change and may omit suppressed or protected matters.
