Rules and AI coexistence enables organisations to combine deterministic, rules-based controls with AI-assisted insights in a governed and explainable manner. Rather than replacing established compliance logic, this approach allows AI to enhance decision-making while preserving transparency, accountability, and regulatory confidence.

Cloud-native scalability enables organisations to handle fluctuating screening, monitoring, and decisioning volumes without compromising performance or control. As transaction volumes, customer bases, and regulatory requirements grow, compliance platforms must be able to scale dynamically to meet demand in real time.

Audit trails and decision logs provide organisations with a complete, time-stamped record of how compliance decisions are made and acted upon. In regulated environments, firms must be able to demonstrate not only the outcome of screening and monitoring activities, but also the data, logic, and actions that led to those outcomes.

Configuration as code enables organisations to manage compliance configuration such as rules, thresholds, workflows, and decision logic using version-controlled code rather than manual changes in user interfaces. This approach brings greater discipline, transparency, and governance to how compliance systems are configured and maintained.

API-first architecture enables organisations to embed compliance screening, monitoring, and decisioning directly into their existing technology stack. Rather than relying on standalone tools or manual workflows, API-driven integration allows compliance controls to operate seamlessly within customer journeys, payment flows, and transaction processing systems.

Network and relationship analysis enable organisations to understand how customers, entities, and transactions are connected, revealing indirect risk that may not be visible through isolated screening checks. Financial crime risk often emerges through networks of relationships rather than single entities acting alone.

Behavioural and pattern detection enable organisations to identify unusual or suspicious activity by analysing how customers, entities, and transactions behave over time. Rather than relying solely on static rules or isolated events, this capability focuses on patterns, trends, and deviations that may indicate evolving financial crime risk.

Dynamic risk scoring enables organisations to continuously reassess customer and transaction risk as new information becomes available. Rather than relying on static risk ratings set at onboarding, dynamic scoring reflects changes in behaviour, exposure, and contextual signals over time.

Continuous screening enables organisations to monitor customers, entities, and activity on an ongoing basis rather than relying solely on point-in-time checks. As sanctions lists, risk indicators, and customer behaviour evolve, firms must ensure that new risk exposure is identified promptly and handled consistently.

Case prioritisation and triage help compliance teams manage alert volumes by ensuring that higher-risk cases receive attention first. As screening and monitoring systems generate increasing numbers of alerts, effective triage becomes essential to maintaining timely review, consistency, and regulatory confidence.

Explainable scoring and filters enable compliance teams to understand why alerts trigger and how risk scores are calculated. As regulatory expectations increasingly focus on transparency and accountability, organisations must be able to explain screening outcomes clearly to auditors, regulators, and internal stakeholders.

Probability-based decisioning enables compliance teams to move beyond rigid pass or fail logic by applying probabilistic scoring to screening and monitoring outcomes. Rather than treating all matches equally, this approach supports more nuanced, risk-aligned decisions across customers, payments, and transactions.

AI-assisted alert adjudication supports compliance teams by providing contextual insights that help analysts review and resolve screening alerts more efficiently. As alert volumes increase across sanctions, customer, and payment screening, teams need tools that improve prioritisation and consistency without removing human oversight.

List versioning and governance enable organisations to manage sanctions and watchlists with clear oversight, traceability, and accountability. As regulatory lists change frequently and screening decisions depend on precise data states, firms must be able to demonstrate exactly which list versions were used at any point in time.

Global sanctions data management enables organisations to ingest, govern, and apply sanctions data from multiple authorities across jurisdictions in a consistent and controlled manner. As sanctions regimes expand in scope and complexity, firms must manage a growing volume of lists, formats, and regulatory expectations without fragmenting screening operations.

Dynamic list normalisation ensures that sanctions and watchlist data from multiple sources is standardised, enriched, and prepared for accurate screening. Regulatory lists are published in different formats, structures, and languages, often containing inconsistencies that can undermine screening effectiveness if left unaddressed.

Watchlist delta management enables organisations to identify and process only the meaningful changes within sanctions and watchlists, rather than rescreening entire customer or transaction populations every time a list update occurs. As sanctions regimes evolve rapidly, managing list changes efficiently has become essential for scalable compliance operations.

Adverse media enrichment adds contextual intelligence to sanctions, customer, and transaction screening by identifying negative news, allegations, and risk indicators associated with individuals and entities. While sanctions and watchlists capture formal restrictions, adverse media provides earlier insight into reputational and financial crime risk.

Sanctions and PEP screening enables organisations to identify exposure to sanctioned individuals, entities, and politically exposed persons across customers, payments, and transactions. As global sanctions regimes and PEP definitions evolve, screening controls must remain accurate, timely, and defensible across jurisdictions.

Fuzzy matching and scoring enable compliance teams to identify potential sanctions and risk exposure when names, entities, or transaction data do not match exactly. In real-world screening environments, data is rarely clean or consistent. Variations in spelling, abbreviations, formatting, and data quality introduce complexity that exact matching cannot handle.

Multi-script name matching enables organisations to accurately identify individuals and entities across different writing systems, languages, and transliteration styles. In global sanctions and compliance screening, names rarely appear in a single, standardised format. Variations across Latin and non-Latin scripts introduce significant risk if not handled correctly.

Real-time screening enables financial institutions to assess sanctions, AML awareness, and risk exposure instantly at the point of activity. Within the Facctum platform, this capability underpins solutions such as Customer Screening, Payment Screening, and Transaction Monitoring, where decisions must be made without delay. Instead of relying on batch processing or periodic rescreening, real-time screening allows compliance decisions to be made when customers are onboarded, payments are initiated, or transactions occur.
