Three clear verdicts

Not flagged

No strong matches on sanctions, crime, wanted, debarment, or PEP-type lists.

PEP — enhanced due diligence

Strong match on a politically exposed person (or related) list — proceed with enhanced due diligence.

Flagged

Strong match on a prohibitive list such as sanctions, crime, wanted, or debarment — escalate before proceeding.
