Sanctions screening tools stop at the alert. Adjuvanto investigates it and hands your analyst a decision-ready case.
Each potential sanctions match is assessed, explained, and documented, with a recommendation to clear or escalate. Your analyst reviews the case instead of building it.
Shaped by 40+ trade compliance experts across European industry.

What We're Solving
False positives are not the real problem. Manual resolution is.
A potential match still has to be assessed, researched, interpreted, documented, and either cleared or escalated. That work lands on your analysts every time, even when the match is obviously wrong. As screening volumes grow, the model doesn't scale.
Across Vocabularies
Different companies call this function by different names. Sanctions screening, denied party screening, restricted party screening, OFAC screening, embargo screening, sanctions list screening. The vocabulary varies. The operational problem does not. Whatever term your organisation uses, the workflow that begins once an alert is generated is where compliance programs are actually built or left incomplete.
Alert Fatigue
Thoroughness degrades under volume
A compliance program is only as strong as the quality of attention on each alert. When analysts work through high volumes of potential matches under time pressure, the depth of each review suffers, not because analysts are careless, but because no model built this way can sustain consistent rigour at scale.
Manual Investigation
Every resolution starts from scratch
When an alert comes in, the analyst opens tabs, searches the entity, checks the company website, scans the news, reads the sanctions program description, and then drafts a case note from nothing. That research happens entirely outside the screening tool, undocumented and unrepeatable. The next analyst will do it all again.
Documentation Gap
The case note reconstructs rather than records
Documentation is typically written after the decision has already been made, from memory. What should be a record written at the moment of decision becomes a story reconstructed afterwards. That gap is precisely what regulators look for.
Decision Variance
Inconsistent decisions across teams
Two analysts reviewing the same alert may reach different conclusions depending on their training, their interpretation of policy, and how their forty-eighth alert of the day compares to their first. Across regions, shifts, and subsidiaries, that inconsistency accumulates into regulatory exposure.
Audit Exposure
No audit trail without manual reconstruction
When a regulator requests evidence of due diligence, compliance teams pull records from their denied party screening tool, case management systems, shared drives, and email threads and assemble them by hand. The process takes days, introduces gaps, and adds stress to an already high-stakes situation.
What Compliance Leaders Told Us
“We are wasting highly skilled people on repetitive investigation work.”
“70-80% of compliance workload is research and investigation.”
“The more I don’t have to work in 3-4 apps the better.”
“I haven’t seen something that can pull everything together.”
How It Works
A new operating model for sanctions screening
Adjuvanto operates as a centralised sanctions resolution platform integrated directly into your ERP and business systems. Every entity passes through a structured, automated workflow.
01
Data Interpretation
Incoming entity data is standardised before screening begins. Abbreviations, misspellings, and transliterations from Arabic, Chinese, and Cyrillic scripts are resolved automatically.
Automated
02
Multi-Signal Screening
The normalised entity is screened against global sanctions lists including OFAC, EU, UK, and UN, updated daily. The engine applies exact, fuzzy, phonetic, and transliteration-aware matching.
Automated
03
Pre-Clear Logic
Obvious false positives are cleared and kept separate from the matches that need genuine review. Where the evidence is unambiguous, the engine clears it with documented reasoning. Conservative by default, with thresholds your team controls.
Automated
04
Structured Investigation
The system investigates the business partner: web presence, registered address, adverse media, contradictions across sources. Combined with name-similarity analysis, program context, and policy match into one complete picture, every source attached. The analyst reviews the package and makes the call.
AI-Assisted
05
Human Review
The compliance professional reviews the recommendation and approves, overrides, or escalates. The analyst is the final decision-maker at every stage. No undefended decisions.
Analyst Review
06
Audit-Ready Record
Every decision is captured in a single audit record: the alert, the investigation package, the analyst's reasoning or the system's clearance logic, and the final outcome. System-resolved and analyst-approved cases are tagged and separately retrievable.
Automated
Why Adjuvanto
Built for the realities of sanctions due diligence
Adjuvanto is a sanctions resolution platform for trade compliance teams. It does not make compliance decisions on behalf of your team. It presents every alert through a more intelligent and structured lens, so the judgment your compliance professionals apply is better informed, more consistent, and fully documented every time. Screening tools detect. Adjuvanto resolves.
Effectiveness
A more effective compliance program
Resolution quality stays constant as volumes grow. The same rigour at 3,000 alerts per month as at 300. No additional headcount, no degradation, no dependency on who is available.
Investigation
Every alert arrives investigated
Every match arrives with its investigation already attached. The research an analyst would do across a dozen browser tabs (the company's web presence, adverse media, the program context) is done before you open the case. Your expertise goes to the decisions that genuinely need it.
Consistency
Same standard, regardless of who handles it
The same alert, reviewed by any analyst in any region, produces the same depth of investigation and the same documentation quality. No outcome depends on who happened to be on shift.
Audit Trail
Audit-ready by default, not by reconstruction
Every decision is captured with the entity data, the signals evaluated, the reasoning, and the final human judgment. When a regulator asks, the answer is immediate. No shared drives. No manual assembly.
Human Control
The analyst decides. Always.
Adjuvanto assists the resolution workflow. It does not make compliance decisions. The compliance professional reviews, approves, overrides, or escalates at every stage. The system structures the work. The human owns the judgment.
Evasion Signals
Catches circumvention before it clears
No one evades sanctions under their listed name. Circumvention shows up as a pattern: the jurisdiction, the name proximity, the profile that does not add up. Every screening runs against the circumvention and evasion red flags published by EU and US regulators, and concerns are flagged for enhanced diligence even when the primary match clears.
