The match-response workflow: verify, decide, document, report. What to do in the minutes after screening flags a counterparty.
A sanctions match is a decision point, not a panic. The workflow has four steps - and the first one is the most important.
Compare identifiers: name/wallet, jurisdiction, aliases, ownership. Exact wallet matches are deterministic; name matches need the false-positive triage. The review template structures it.
A 1-page compliance audit for your payment agent. Check your setup against the 7-point framework. Enter your email โ we send it instantly.
Release (false positive, documented) or block (real hit). Never release a possible hit without review - the asymmetry is $356,000.
Log the decision with the list version, the matched entry, and the reasoning. This is the evidence an inquiry demands.
For real hits, report per your obligations - blocking reports typically within 10 days. The notification template has the structure.
An agent should never decide a match alone: block, alert a human, and log. The inquiry scenario shows why the trail matters.
