The Arbiter agent processes screening alerts through a workflow that mimics how experienced analysts approach case review, but at machine speed and scale.
Alert Types Handled
- Sanctions - OFAC, EU UN, and other watchlist hits
- PEPs (Politically Exposed Persons) - Direct matches and family/associate connections
- Adverse Media - Articles from over 200,000 news sources, with 120+ categories of adverse media coverage
- Other Watchlist Sources: Law enforcement most wanted, elevated risk, export control, etc.
Core Workflow
- Alert Ingestion: Agent receives alerts from Castellum.AI platform or integrates with your existing screening systems
- Data Organization and Mapping: Standardizes alert formats and enriches with additional context from customer profiles and external databases
- Agentic Evaluation: Applies contextual reasoning to assess match strength, considering factors like name similarity, geographic relevance and DOB similarity
- Decision and Documentation: Generates clear adjudication decisions (False Positive, Needs More Information) with detailed rationale explaining the reasoning behind each decision
- Delivery: Returns processed alerts with recommendations and supporting rationales ready for compliance team review or case management system integration
Key Decision Components
- Decision Logic: Configurable parameters tuned to your institution's risk tolerance, alert handling logic and compliance policies and procedures
- Audit Trail: Complete documentation capturing all input, reasoning steps and output for regulatory examination and internal review
- Match Analysis: Name matching algorithms, entity type verification, location correlation, ID number validation, date of birth comparison, associate entities
