screen_name
OFAC name screening: fuzzy-match a person or company name against the official US Treasury OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list (primary names + strong aliases). Returns scored candidate matches with the matched name, SDN type, and program. SCOPE: this is a screening aid for AML / KYC / sanctions compliance — a match is a candidate to investigate with secondary identifiers (DOB, nationality, ID), NOT a determination. Weak AKAs are not screened, per OFAC guidance.
