Users often assume that higher match scores directly represent higher risk, but in Fenergo, match scores indicate confidence in similarity between the screened entity and a potential match β not the inherent risk level. Each screening provider calculates these scores differently, and Fenergo interprets them as relative indicators of match strength.

Match scores measure confidence in similarity, not direct risk level.Β Each screening provider calculates scores differently, but Fenergo interprets them as relative indicators of match strength.
Typical guidance:
- 90β100: High confidence β review for potential True Positive.
- 70β89: Medium confidence β manual review required.
- Below 70: Low confidence β typically False Positive.
These thresholds may differ by provider configuration.
Best Practice
- Pair match scores with risk domains (Sanctions, PEP, Adverse Media) and supporting entity attributes.
- Record rationale for any score-based decisions in the Screening Results Comments section for full audit traceability.
