Know your transaction
What screening checks, how exposure and scores are produced, and how much of each figure is methodology.
Screening tells you what money an address has touched. It tells you nothing about the person holding it, which is the half an investigation exists to establish.
Much of what screening reports looks like measurement and is partly choice: how far to follow funds through a pool, which categories count, where a band boundary falls. This section covers what the figures are made of, so you can say what a number rests on when somebody asks.
