Advanced Processing Methodology
Five-Step Data Curation Process
Reliable media selection for adverse media monitoring ensures comprehensive coverage through list aggregation from authoritative government sources, while political master structures and regime tracking provide contextual intelligence, complemented by targeted research for specialized risk areas.
Keyword filters, machine learning classifiers, and NLP streamline media processing, while direct mapping to standardized data fields enables efficient sanctions list integration, profile details research supports accurate PEP identification, and systematic data collection and sourcing builds comprehensive special collections.
Fully tagged and sourced profiles ensure complete audit trails, while profile screening against existing databases prevents duplication, profile creation or updates capture new information as it emerges, and regular maintenance and enhancement keep profile data current and accurate.
Robust media quality programs verify source reliability, while updates are reviewed and reconciled to maintain sanctions list accuracy, domain-based review validates PEP information integrity, and comprehensive quality assurance processes ensure all special collections meet rigorous standards.
