Screening Matches
Holds the hits the screening engine raises when a member or counterparty resembles a watchlist entry (mfi.aml.screening.match), each with a similarity score and review status. Compliance staff adjudicate every match as a true hit or a false positive, building an auditable disposition trail. Unresolved matches block onboarding or transactions per policy.

Workflow
- Open Screening Matches under Compliance.
- Filter by status to see undecided matches first.
- Open a match to compare the member against the watchlist entry.
- Disposition it as a confirmed hit or a documented false positive.
- Escalate confirmed hits to an STR and apply any account restriction.
