Search response and score

Interpret match quality, score details and source references.

A search response returns candidate records and explains why they matched.

Result structure

Each results[] item includes a normalized entity, related sanctions, aliases, addresses, identifiers and matching signals.

Match quality

Value	Score	Usage
`very_strong`	90+	Very strong candidate; official-source verification is still required.
`strong`	70+	Strong candidate requiring contextual review.
`medium`	50+	Route to human review.
`weak`	35+	Weak candidate; seek additional discriminating data.
`none`	below 35	No meaningful candidate.

Explainability

scoreDetails reports field contributions and stable reasons such as exact_primary_name, exact_alias and exact_identifier. matchedFields lists matching fields; explanation.references provides official-source summaries.

Meta object

meta.normalizedQuery, requestedSources, effectiveSources, searchedCollections and the applied limitPolicy make request processing auditable.

Decision boundary

An API result is a candidate match. A final sanctions or compliance decision requires official-source verification and human review.
