Negative news screening with evidence snapshots, decision documentation, and audit-ready exports.

Core Concept

NNSFlow is a legally defensible decision reconstruction system. When you complete a screening, every source you reviewed is captured in full, hashed for integrity, and frozen. Years later, you can prove exactly what your team saw at the moment they made their decision.

This isn't just about finding negative news. It's about creating evidence that your due diligence was conducted properly, with documentation that meets regulatory standards.

Screening Workflow

Four steps from search to locked evidence.

01

Start Investigation

Enter the entity name and type (individual or company). Configure your search parameters: custom keywords, specific sites to include, country filters.

Investigation parameters are stored, allowing you to return later without re-entering configuration.

02

Review Sources

Sources are surfaced as they're collected, with full content extraction and keyword highlighting.

  • Flag as relevant for closer review
  • Mark as excluded (irrelevant)
  • Add notes for context
  • Classify credibility (Official, Verified, Unverified, Allegation, Political)

Progress is auto-saved. Refreshing the page or returning later restores your work.

03

Make Decision

When you've reviewed the sources, complete the screening with your decision. You must provide reasoning -- this becomes part of the permanent audit record.

Evidence Locked

Upon completion, everything is frozen:

  • All reviewed sources become immutable evidence snapshots
  • Content is SHA-256 hashed
  • Configuration snapshot (keywords, filters) is frozen
  • Decision, reasoning, and timestamp recorded
  • Retention clock starts (10 years default)

Immutability is enforced at the database level. No one can modify completed evidence, not even administrators.

The entity profile

Every entity has a dossier

One view: identity, relationship graph, KYC documents, and a live history of every action taken on the entity.

Relationship graph

Family, corporate, and beneficial-owner connections surface as a queryable graph, with every edge backed by source evidence.

KYC document vault

Identity documents stored beside the entity, hashed with SHA-256, access-logged. Retrievable by an auditor years later.

Activity timeline

Every state change (note, edit, approval) logged with actor, timestamp, and diff. The timeline IS the audit trail.

Key Features

Evidence Snapshots

Full extracted text content from every source. Not just URLs -- the actual content.

Source Credibility

5-level classification: Official, Verified, Unverified, Allegation, Political.

Real-Time Collaboration

Live chat, presence, and notifications during active investigations. Multiple analysts can review the same investigation.

Investigation Persistence

Pause and resume. Share investigation URLs with colleagues.

PDF Export

Auditor-ready PDF reports with full evidence trail and decision snapshot.

4-Eyes Approval

Maker-checker workflow with submitter ≠ approver enforcement. Approve, reject, or escalate.

Entity History

All past screenings for an entity. Compare over time.

Sanctions & PEP Screening

Self-hosted OpenSanctions (Yente) included. World-Check (Refinitiv/LSEG) on enterprise. Hits land in the evidence chain with confirm/dismiss audit trail.

What You Can Screen

Individuals

Screen people for adverse media, litigation history, PEP status, criminal exposure, and regulatory actions.

Common use: Client onboarding, employee screening, vendor checks

Companies

Screen corporate entities for financial scandals, regulatory issues, M&A red flags, and business relationship risks.

Common use: Corporate due diligence, supplier evaluation, investment screening

Configuration

Custom Keywords

Define your own risk keywords beyond the defaults. Keywords are highlighted in source content and saved in the decision snapshot.

Site Filters

Include specific sites (e.g., reuters.com, ft.com) or exclude unwanted domains. Filters are part of the frozen configuration.

Country Context

Set country context for geographically relevant results. Useful for regional news and local regulatory information.

Search Depth

Configure how many pages of results to process. Balance thoroughness against review time.
