DESCRIBE THE STATUS CORRECTLY

False positive, possible match or still unresolved?

False positive, possible match or still unresolved?

A database alert should only be described as a false positive once the available identity attributes support a defensible exclusion. Until then, it remains a possible or unresolved match. Wehron documents what supports the identity, what argues against it and what remains open.

WEHRON / ASSESSMENT

A name match is not yet a finding.

Similar spellings may refer to different people; divergent spellings may refer to the same person. The decisive question is which identity attributes and registry links actually support the attribution.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Concise, transparent answers.

Concise, transparent answers.

When is an alert a false positive?

Only when the available identity attributes support a defensible exclusion from the listed person or entity. If the evidence is insufficient, the alert remains unresolved rather than automatically false.

What does Wehron need for an initial assessment?

The screening source and date, whether the subject is a person or company, the relevant jurisdiction, the nature of the uncertainty, and the pending decision and deadline. Names, documents and case files should not be sent in the initial contact.

Does Wehron provide legal clearance?

No. Wehron provides a documented factual basis and identifies open points. The legal assessment and resulting decision remain with the client and its advisers.
