Adverse media that arrives already scored
DetectX® extends Know Your Customer and Know Your Stakeholder with continuous, NLP-driven analysis of the web, specialist databases and public registers. Each document carries a risk score and a sentiment score into the same alert queue as every other module.

The DetectX® Approach
Adverse Media Search is one module of the DetectX® platform. It shares the AlertViewer, the lists and the reporting with every other module, so a second capability is a module rather than a second system.
Sources
Advanced natural language processing analyses sources such as Google API, LexisNexis, OpenCorporate, and public registers. Predefined and custom keywords, combined with search inputs such as name or company, deliver precise and relevant results across multiple languages.
Web and news
Open web
Continuous analysis of open digital sources, in multiple languages, against predefined and custom keywords.
Specialist databases
Licensed
Commercial content accessed through the sources your organisation subscribes to.
Public registers
Official
Corporate and public registers read alongside media, so an entity and its filings are assessed together.
Risk and sentiment scoring
Each document is automatically assigned a risk score and a sentiment score based on keyword frequency, sentiment analysis, and topic relevance. Scores feed directly into alert management, investigation dossiers, and audit history.
Keyword frequency
Frequency
How often the matched terms appear, and where in the document they sit.
Sentiment analysis
Tone
The tone of the document, scored separately from its risk so the two can be read apart.
Topic relevance
Subject
Whether the document is about the subject or merely mentions them.
Into the same queue
The web-based AlertViewer supports classification, workflow and multidimensional reporting.
Alert management
Queue
Scored documents open in the same AlertViewer as screening and monitoring alerts.
Investigation dossiers
Dossier
Documents attach to the investigation, so the evidence sits with the case rather than beside it.
Audit history
Record
What was found, what was scored and what was decided are all recorded together.
Key Benefits and Impact
Finding the article is not the hard part. Deciding what it means is.
A search that returns everything written about a common name buries the one document that matters. DetectX® scores every document for risk and for sentiment separately, records which keywords fired and how relevant the topic was, and hands the analyst a ranked list with the reasoning attached rather than a page of results.
WHAT A SCORED DOCUMENT CARRIES
Why DetectX®
A mention is a starting point, not an answer.
One adverse media hit, as the record holds it
Adverse Media Search shares the AlertViewer, the lists and the reporting with every other DetectX® module. A name screening hit on the same subject can be opened from inside the alert, and adding a second module never requires a separate review workflow.
Step 1 of 4 · Search
The search records what it asked for
The subject, the keyword set and the sources searched are recorded with the request, so a later reviewer can see the question, not only the answer.
Recorded: the subject, the keywords and the sources queried.
Step 2 of 4 · Score
Two scores, kept apart
Risk and sentiment are scored separately, because a negative article about someone else is not the same thing as a neutral article about the subject.
Recorded: the risk score, the sentiment score and the keywords that fired.
Step 3 of 4 · Review
The analyst works from the document, not the score
The scored document opens with its source and its matched terms attached, so the assessment is made against the text rather than against a number.
Recorded: which documents were read, and what was concluded.
Step 4 of 4 · Decide
The conclusion stays with the document
The outcome and its reasoning attach to the alert, and the scored document stays in the investigation dossier, so the conclusion can be read against the text and the scores that prompted it.
Recorded: the decision, its reasoning, the documents kept and the author.
Common questions
Advanced natural language processing analyses sources such as Google API, LexisNexis, OpenCorporate and public registers, alongside the commercial content your organisation subscribes to. The source that produced a document is recorded on the alert.
Yes. Predefined and custom keywords combine with search inputs such as a name or a company. Which keywords fired on a given document is part of that document's score.
Yes. The natural language processing is language-agnostic and results are delivered across multiple languages.
Yes. Adverse Media Search runs standalone or embeds into an existing compliance workflow via API or batch. Run alongside other DetectX® modules it shares the same AlertViewer and the same audit history.
