DRILL · ALERT INVESTIGATION AND FALSE POSITIVES

The words behind Alert investigation and false positives

Read the plain-language definition, then name the term it describes.

An alert that turns out not to be a real match — the flagged party merely resembles the listed one. Most screening alerts end this way.

Step 1 of 2

THE DRILL AS TEXT

  1. An alert that turns out not to be a real match — the flagged party merely resembles the listed one. Most screening alerts end this way.
    • False positive
  2. An alert confirmed on investigation as genuinely concerning the listed party, triggering blocking, rejection, or escalation under the applicable regime.
    • True match

This drill is built from Alert investigation and false positives — it rearranges material written and sourced on that page rather than asserting anything new, so every claim in it is checkable there.
