How DeepDive delivers investigation depth manual EDD cannot match

Every MLRO knows the anxiety: "What if we missed something?" You've searched the web, checked the obvious registries, reviewed online profiles, and looked as deep as time allows. But there's always that nagging doubt— the directorship registered under a name variation? The court judgment filed in another country? The allegations on social media about malpractice? Beneficial ownership chains across another jurisdiction? 

False positives annoy your team. False negatives destroy your reputation. 

The blind spots in manual EDD 

Manual investigations fail not because analysts lack skill, but because human researchers face systematic limitations: 

Name variations and nicknames. Your subject is Robert James Williams. But he appears as Bob Williams in some directorships, R J Williams in court records, Robert J Williams in property records, and RJW Ltd as a business name. Manual research can miss half the relevant information. Due diligence shouldn’t be based on educated guesses. 

Fragmented insight across multiple sources. Business registries, court judgments, insolvency notices, property records, tribunal decisions, regulatory actions. Manual researchers know these sources exist, but lack time to search them all systematically. Manual EDD investigation tends to focuses on the easily accessible sources, while material information that sits further down the page rank or in unexpected sources, go unnoticed. 

False positive exhaustion. Searches for "Laura Davies", even with relevant qualifiers, and the volume of results can create false positive exhaustion. How confident are you that the "Laura Davies" records you checked out gave the full picture of your search subject, and that one of the other "Laura Davies" you didn’t review could have revealed material insight? 

Cross-border and language barriers. When subjects do have directorships in other jurisdictions, foreign business activities, or foreign language sources—manual research fails or slows down. The German court judgment, the Argentinean business registry listing, the transliterated Arabic name variant, are all invisible to English-language searches. Translating search terms, making sense of foreign registries, and handling name transliterations all consume disproportionate investigation time.  

DeepDive -  exhaustive EDD, without the exhaustion  

DeepDive approaches investigation with capabilities manual research cannot replicate: 

The full picture across name variations. DeepDive finds the connections between variations such as Bob Williams, R J Williams, Robert J Williams, and RJW. Information appears in your report with explanation showing why it's definitely your subject, not a false positive. 

Comprehensive coverage across multiple sources. DeepDive accesses multiple search engines simultaneously, processing thousands of public sources. It retrieves publicly available information from sources manual researchers often skip due to time pressure or complexity.  

Entity resolution that eliminates false positives. DeepDive doesn't present you with 2,000 John Smiths to sort through manually. Our proprietary entity resolution cross references data on thousands of parameters and returns only information matched to your specific subject.  

Multi-language capability. DeepDive automatically translates search terms into relevant languages and searches regional engines like Yandex or Baidu. It handles name transliterations across different alphabets—critical for subjects with non-English names or international business activities.  

The value isn't privileged access—it's exhaustive, systematic coverage of publicly available information from multiple source types that manual researchers either don't find, can't process efficiently, or don't have time to check. 

From "I hope I didn't miss anything" to "I know I searched everything" 

DeepDive eliminates that uncertainty. Of course, finding more doesn't help if you don't have capacity to review or investigate it. That's where efficiency gains from using AI become critical—see how teams are multiplying EDD throughput without additional headcount. 

DeepDive presents all the information in a format that MLROs and their teams can digest quickly.  Presentation formats include: 

• Executive summary
• Risk alert summaries 
• Timeline review  
• Short report or long report 
• Chatbot interrogation   
• EDD report summaries    

All the data is presented with source citations and source quality analysis, which matters when regulators audit your EDD processes —learn what regulators see in DeepDive reports and why it meets their expectations. 

The optimal division of labour 

DeepDive doesn't replace investigator judgment—it enhances investigator capability. DeepDive eats up the repetitive tasks computers do better than humans: searching thousands of sources simultaneously, maintaining process consistency, documenting every step. 

Your investigators focus on what humans do better than computers: evaluating materiality, assessing context, weighing contradictory evidence, applying regulatory judgment, and making risk decisions. 

That's the optimal division of labour. DeepDive ensures you find everything. Your team determines what it means.
