Screening that says which lists, at which versions.

The problem with “clear”
A screening result that says “clear” is not a finding, because it does not say clear of what. Six months later, when the question is whether a customer was on a list at the time you onboarded them, a tick in a spreadsheet cannot answer it.
Buying screening from a reseller rarely helps: you inherit their refresh schedule and their idea of which lists matter, and neither is visible when you need to explain your own coverage.
What Screen does
Frodiq retrieves the official files automatically and versions each one on import. A result names the lists it consulted and the version of each — and that record stays with the screening rather than being reconstructed afterwards.
Arabic names are matched in their own script as well as through transliteration and spelling variants, so an Arabic query and a Latin listing of the same party meet. Every hit carries the arithmetic that produced it.
Screening does not stop at onboarding. Each day the sources re-sync and newly added entries are re-screened against your book; a full re-screen runs weekly. A removed entry annotates an open hit with a dated note rather than closing a decision on your behalf.
Synthetic data
What the record keeps
A screening is refused unless it can name the dated versions it consulted.
- 8 official authorities
The US Treasury, US International Trade Administration, European Union, United Kingdom, United Nations Security Council, Australia DFAT, New Zealand MFAT and French Treasury. Free, official and machine-readable, with updates handled automatically.
- 9 machine-readable files
OFAC SDN and Consolidated, EU, UK, UN, Australia DFAT, U.S. trade controls, New Zealand's Russia register and France's autonomous national freezes. Each is versioned on import, and every screening records the exact versions consulted.
- sanctions sources with visible version dates
Eight official authorities, nine machine-readable restriction files. Every import is versioned and carries the publisher's own timestamp where the file provides one; otherwise the import time is labelled honestly. A result is always "no match in these named lists, at these versions", never a bare "clear".
- Arabic-native sanctions matching
A name is reduced to three comparison spaces — folded in its own script, transliterated to Latin with the definite article removed, and a consonant skeleton — so an Arabic query and a Latin listing of the same person meet. Every hit carries the arithmetic that produced it.
- Every result names the lists and their versions
No match was found in the named lists at their dated versions below. This is not a clearance — it means nothing matched those lists as of those dates. PEP and adverse-media screening are separate.
- Screening does not stop at onboarding
Every day the sources re-sync and only the entries that were ADDED are re-screened against your book; a full re-screen runs weekly. A removed entry annotates an open hit with a dated note — it never closes a decision on your behalf.
- Public-source intelligence, with limits shown
An optional, separately recorded check searches official current-office sources, official negative events, entity identity and linked-news metadata. It is discovery evidence, not complete licensed PEP/adverse-media coverage and never a clearance.
What Screen does not cover
Frodiq's optional public-source check can surface current public-office records, official negative events, entity identity and linked-news metadata. It is discovery evidence, not complete licensed PEP or adverse-media coverage; absence is never presented as clearance. A customer's declared PEP status remains a client-provided control input.
Sanctions screening compares names against the named lists at their stated versions. It is a check, not a clearance, and the product's wording keeps that distinction everywhere it appears.
