Anqa Screening Methodology
How our advanced matching algorithms work
Sophisticated Matching Technology
Our platform combines multiple advanced algorithms to deliver accurate screening results with minimal false positives:
- Levenshtein Distance: Measures the similarity between strings by calculating the minimum number of operations needed to transform one string into another
- Soundex: Phonetic algorithm for indexing names by sound, as pronounced in English, helping identify names that sound similar despite spelling variations
- Metaphone Algorithms: Improved phonetic algorithm that produces more accurate results across a wider range of names and languages
This combination of techniques results in:
- Reduced false positives while maintaining high detection accuracy
- Better handling of transliterations and cultural naming variations
- A heuristic scoring model that predicts match likelihood for more informed decision-making
- Configurable matching thresholds to balance compliance needs with operational efficiency
