Download this guide and discover how to dramatically reduce sanctions false positives without replacing your existing screening systems.

What You’ll Learn

Why sanctions screening is overwhelming investigation teams

Up to 97% of sanctions alerts are false positives creating unnecessary workload, slowing investigations, and stretching compliance resources. The guide explains why rules-based systems generate such high alert volumes and why thresholds are often set artificially low.

How unstructured data drives false matches

Through a practical worked example, the guide shows how traditional systems fail to distinguish context (such as a London entertainment company versus a sanctioned Russian vessel with the same name), leading to unnecessary alerts.
Discover how SymphonyAI uses GenAI entity extraction and predictive AI to structure unstructured data and determine match probability more intelligently.

How SymphonyAI augments your existing screening solution

Rather than replacing your sanctions system, SymphonyAI uses an AI Overlay for Screening to augment it. It analyzes “match candidates” using a two-step AI process:

1. Named entity extraction to structure unstructured text
2. Predictive modeling to calculate match probability with explainability

You’ll see how AI scores, feature breakdowns, and natural-language explanations are returned directly into your existing case management workflow.

The measurable impact that AI can deliver

Recent proofs of concept have demonstrated:

• 56% reduction in false positives
• Up to 80% reduction in false positives in further testing
• 100% true positive retention

Why You Should Download It

Reclaim investigator capacity

When nearly all alerts are false positives, teams are forced into repetitive, low-value triage. This guide explains how AI-driven prioritization and auto-hibernation of low-risk alerts can significantly reduce workload and accelerate case handling.

Strengthen regulatory confidence

Sanctions breaches carry severe financial and reputational consequences, with billions in fines issued globally. Intelligent scoring and explainable outputs demonstrate a proactive, technology-forward compliance strategy.

Improve accuracy without increasing risk

SymphonyAI enables institutions to reduce false positives while retaining 100% of true positives in testing, meaning that efficiency gains do not come at the expense of compliance integrity.

Avoid costly system replacement

Upgrades can be expensive. Thankfully, SymphonyAI augments your existing sanctions and case management systems via API or deployment options, allowing immediate impact without a full technology overhaul.
