Possibly Same as Entities & Resolution

5

 
< >

The same person or company can appear multiple times in corporate records but have different attributes or even different names, Sayari has developed logic around automatically resolving entities. This increases connectivity and codes analyst-like knowledge into the extraction of relationships and entities. 

While people rarely change their most common identifier like names, date of birth or ID number, companies often change names, legal structures, addresses and ID numbers and holding companies frequently share nearly identical names with their subsidiaries. To avoid merging false positives together, Sayari’s resolution rules for companies are therefore more conservative than for people.
