Sanctions screening answers 'is this prohibited?' Risk scoring answers 'how risky is this?' The three signals that matter for agent payments.
Screening is binary: clean or match. Risk scoring is continuous: allow, review, or decline. For agent payments, three signals carry most of the information.
Anomaly detection against the counterparty's history and category baselines. A first-time $50,000 payment from a $5 agent reads differently than a routine micro-payment.

Some rails carry more exposure than others: irreversible transfers, high-latency settlement, cross-border paths. The rail is part of the risk, not just the plumbing.
Counterparty category and jurisdiction exposure. A payment into a high-risk category or embargoed-adjacent geography scores higher regardless of the address.
risk_score combines the three into allow/review/decline with a numeric score — the layer above the sanctions gate. Screen first (binary), score second (continuous), then sign.
