Tuning a Screening Review Queue with Better Identifiers

Establish a baseline

Take a controlled set of customer fixtures with known expected review outcomes. Run the first evaluation using names only, then repeat with available birth dates and countries. Record the input and configuration for each run.

Compare the review work

Count the findings your reviewer needed to assess, the cases that lacked enough evidence, and the time spent reaching a decision. These are evaluation measurements to collect, not claims about CirclesCheck performance.

Keep missed cases visible

Reducing the review queue is useful only if the evaluation still surfaces the cases your team expects to investigate. Retain both match fixtures and clear non-match fixtures and review unexpected results.

Repeat after meaningful changes

Re-run the fixtures after changing data sources, matching settings, or your input fields. Keep the prior results for comparison. Use the sanctions screening test plan as the acceptance checklist.
