Quick Screen Skill

Purpose

This skill performs a rapid initial risk assessment using the three most critical compliance tools: sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when the user:

• Needs a "quick check" or "rapid screening"
• Requests initial risk assessment
• Has time constraints
• Uses terms like: "quick screen", "fast check", "initial assessment", "preliminary screening"

Workflow

1. Rapid Checks (Run in Parallel if Possible)

# Run these three checks
from src.tools import sanctions, pep_check, adverse_media

# 1. Sanctions - Most critical
sanctions_result = sanctions.check(entity_name)

# 2. PEP - Political exposure
pep_result = pep_check.check(entity_name)

# 3. Adverse Media - Reputation
media_result = adverse_media.check(entity_name)

2. Quick Risk Assessment

• Red Flags: Any sanctions hit, Level 1-2 PEP, serious adverse media
• Yellow Flags: Potential matches, Level 3-4 PEP, moderate adverse media
• Green Flags: All clear

3. Recommendations

• Red Flags → Recommend full compliance check immediately
• Yellow Flags → Suggest enhanced due diligence
• Green Flags → Standard onboarding can proceed

Example

User: "Quick screen John Smith"

Actions:

1. Sanctions check → Clear ✓
2. PEP check → Not a PEP ✓
3. Adverse media → No findings ✓ Result: Low risk, clear to proceed

Important Notes

• This is for initial screening only
• Not sufficient for high-risk transactions
• Always escalate if any red flags found
• Full compliance check recommended for material relationships
