Understand the context / Entity Intelligence

Entity Intelligence

Explore the information your team would need to assess an entity reference, its source, and the limits of an attribution.

  • Sourced references
  • Confidence indicators
  • Human review, not legal ownership

Questions worth exploring

Ask what sits behind a label.

When evaluating entity intelligence, begin with the information your team needs to assess a reference. Ask where a label comes from, what it describes, and which parts remain uncertain. Entity Intelligence pairs address clustering with sourced references, so every label carries its evidence and a confidence indicator.

Illustrative examples with fictional entities and sample data.

    Source context

    Specify the source details, dates, and supporting material your reviewer would want to examine. Ask how changes or conflicting references would be explained.

  • Keep in view · 02

    Attribution boundaries

    Distinguish the questions your team has about an address, a service, and a legal entity. Ask which relationships can be supported by available evidence.

    Use in a review

    Describe where entity context would be used in your workflow and who would assess it. Make the required review context explicit before discussing any output.

Entity profile demonstration

One profile. Every claim with its evidence.

An entity profile brings together the category, the addresses, the activity and the sources in one place, and shows how confident each part of the attribution is.

Address clustering

See how addresses connect, and how sure we are.

Line style shows the strength of the evidence behind each connection. Solid mint is confirmed. Solid teal is evidence-supported. Dashed is possible. Dotted grey is unverified.

Attribution evidence

Every label explains itself.

Open any item to see the source, its date, the wallet it refers to, what was observed, how confident it is and who last reviewed it. Conflicting evidence stays next to the label, not hidden behind it.

Know what a label can and cannot tell you.

Responsible use of entity intelligence starts with its limits. These five principles apply to every label, on every page of the product.

  1. 01

    A label does not establish legal ownership

  2. 02

    Confidence can differ between addresses

Responsible use. Entity Intelligence supports a reviewer. It does not decide who owns an address, and its labels are not legal determinations.

Prepare a focused conversation

Bring a scenario. Define what you want to learn.

What needs confirmation

Entity Intelligence combines address clustering with sourced entity references, so reviewers can see where a label comes from and how confident it is. Use these questions to confirm the details that matter for your evaluation.

  • Ask · 01

    Supported entity categories

    Which kinds of entity are covered, and which are not?

  • Ask · 02

    Supported networks

    Which networks can be attributed for your use case?

  • Ask · 03

    Address-clustering methodology

    How are addresses grouped, and how is that explained to a reviewer?

  • Ask · 04

    Evidence sources

    Which sources support a label, and how are they weighted?

  • Ask · 05

    Confidence calculation

    How is a confidence level derived, and can it be inspected?

  • Ask · 06

    Update frequency

    How often are labels and sources refreshed?

  • Ask · 07

    Historical attribution

    Can earlier labels and their changes be reviewed?

  • Ask · 08

    API availability

    Which entity data can be retrieved through the API?

  • Ask · 09

    Export options

    Which formats can entity evidence be exported in?

  • Ask · 10

    User permissions

    Who can view, review and change an attribution?

These are evaluation questions, not guaranteed functionality. Answers depend on your deployment and are agreed with the team during your evaluation.

Before your demo

Entity Intelligence: questions and answers

Does an entity label establish ownership?

An entity label reflects a sourced reference, not a legal determination of ownership. Each label includes its source and a confidence indicator so your team can judge how much weight to give it.

Which entities are covered?

Coverage spans exchanges, services, and other frequently referenced entities identified through address clustering and sourced intelligence. Ask for the current coverage summary for your use case.

Can entity information be accessed by API?

Yes, through the Risk & Compliance API. See that page for endpoint and integration details.
