Automated adverse media searches with documented, evidence-backed results.

Automated adverse media searches with documented, evidence-backed results.

Where it Helps

The Adverse Media Screening agent uses AI to automatically search for negative news on a subject across available sources, then summarizes and ranks the relevant hits for the analyst. Results appear directly in the case record with source links and a short rationale for each hit. Every search, whether hits are found or not, is logged to the case file. Analysts skip the manual search and go straight to review.

Key Capabilities

Automated Web Search

The agent runs a structured adverse media search the moment a case requires screening, no manual query needed.

Relevance Ranking

Hits are scored and ranked against the subject, filtering out name-only and irrelevant matches automatically.

Source Context Summaries

Each hit includes a short summary and source link so analysts can assess relevance without opening every article.

Risk Category Tagging

Hits are tagged by category, such as fraud, sanctions, or financial crime, to speed triage.

Negative Result Documentation

When no adverse hits are found, the agent still logs that the search was performed, closing the audit gap.

Configurable Search Scope

Admins define source types, lookback windows, and risk categories to match program requirements.

Case-Record Evidence

Search results and evidence are written directly to the case record for audit and QA review.
