A risk score and match confidence answer different questions. The first expresses the risk context of a finding; the second, the assessment of how the record relates to the person searched for.
Separate the two axes
A high-risk record can have a low identity match. A PEP record with a strong identity match, meanwhile, does not mean automatic rejection. Do not merge the two concepts into a single percentage.
Model and institutional rule
Weights and thresholds are assessed against the institution's purpose and data scope. Do not present a sample scoring table as a universal compliance model. Do not neutralise mandatory processes with arbitrary weights.
Explanation and validation
Explain which data the score rests on and the effect of missing information. Evaluate changes with representative samples; do not count producing fewer alerts as success on its own.
