Patented Scoring Technology

Stop guessing. Start knowing.

Most screening tools flag risks but leave analysts to weigh them alone - producing inconsistent decisions that vary by person, caseload, and confidence level. The COMFORT Score™ replaces that guesswork: combining match confidence, materiality ratings, and mitigating factors across 12 risk domains into a single contextual risk score that is always consistent, traceable, and defensible.

How It Works

Three steps. One defensible answer.

Every COMFORT Score™ follows the same transparent, rules-based process - so every analyst, every time, gets the same calibrated output.

01

Intelligence gathering

KYCopilot simultaneously scans 15,000+ global sources across all 12 risk domains. Every result receives a confidence rating - low-quality or tangential mentions are automatically filtered out before scoring begins.

02
balance

Multi-factor weighting

Each finding is scored using transparent, rules-based logic: directness of implication, severity of allegation, recency (last 6 months weighted highest), frequency across independent sources, geographic relevance, and mitigating circumstances.

03
verified

One defensible score

The weighted outputs are synthesised into a single score from 0-100, mapped to Low, Medium, High, or Critical. Every contributing factor is recorded - giving a clear, traceable rationale your compliance team can stand behind.

Comprehensive Coverage

Every angle. Every time.

The COMFORT Score™ draws from 12 interconnected risk domains. Each is evaluated independently, then weighted and synthesised into the final score.
