}What comes back
| Field | Buyer value |
|---|---|
| Decision | POTENTIAL_MATCH_REVIEW_REQUIRED, NO_CSL_NAME_MATCH, or SOURCE_UNAVAILABLE. |
| Evidence | Published names, aliases, addresses, programs, source links, scores, and stable fingerprints. |
| Audit trail | Source-byte hash, fetch time, record count, match delta, caller-owned review disposition, and batch receipt. |
No-match is not clearance. Source failure never becomes a no-match, and no score autonomously authorizes a transaction.
Start with a real safe query.
FAQ
Is this legal clearance? No. It is source-bound screening evidence and a review record.
