How Sayari Sees the Market

The risk intelligence market is
fragmenting by design.

Most organizations cobble together four or five tools to cover the risk intelligence spectrum – credit data from one vendor, sanctions screening from another, supply chain mapping from a third, and ownership research done manually. The result is gaps, redundancy, and exposure that no single tool was designed to find. Sayari was built to close that gap.

The Landscape Today

Five categories of tools. One intelligence problem.

💳
Credit & Financial Data Providers
Do Well
Business identity, credit scores, financial health assessment, broad entity coverage
The Gap
Ownership stops at declared corporate hierarchy. No adversarial entity detection.
✓
Sanctions Screening Platforms
Do Well
List matching, compliance workflow, alert management
The Gap
Screen against lists but don’t resolve entity identity. False positive rates remain high.
🔗
Supply Chain Risk Platforms
Do Well
Multi-tier supplier mapping, trade data visualization, ESG scoring
The Gap
Map commercial relationships but not ownership chains. Can’t tell you who controls the supplier.
🔍
Advisory & Research Firms
Do Well
Deep expertise on specific networks, bespoke analyst reports, strategic intelligence
The Gap
Don’t scale. Can’t screen 10,000 counterparties overnight.
📋
Corporate Registry Aggregators
Do Well
Filing data access, basic company information, document retrieval
The Gap
Raw data without entity resolution. No risk intelligence layer.

The Gap

What no single category covers

Ownership Through Opacity
Credit providers see declared hierarchy. Screening tools match lists. Neither traces ownership through nominees, shell companies, and trusts across jurisdictions to find who actually controls an entity.
Entity Resolution at Adversarial Scale
Matching “Acme Corp” to “Acme Corporation” is easy. Matching transliterated aliases, shared-address networks, and cross-jurisdictional identity variants across 450M+ entities requires a fundamentally different approach.
Evidence That Satisfies Enforcement
Risk scores trigger investigations. They don’t close them. Regulators and enforcement agencies need source-linked, timestamped evidence chains – not confidence percentages.
Where Sayari Sits

The world model approach

Sayari doesn’t fit neatly into any of the five categories above – and that’s by design. We built a world model: 450M+ entities resolved from primary corporate registries, trade records, and sanctions data across 250+ jurisdictions. The result is an intelligence layer that sits underneath and connects all five categories – providing the entity resolution, ownership depth, and evidence infrastructure that each category lacks on its own.

For compliance teams, this means one platform that replaces the manual work of stitching together credit data, screening results, supply chain maps, and registry lookups. For government agencies, it means intelligence-grade entity resolution deployed in GovCloud with classified environment support.
