About ProofAML

Accessible screening

ProofAML brings published lists together so individuals and teams can search names, inspect possible matches and consult the original records. The public screening tool is free, without a login or paywall.

Founder and leadership

ProofAML was founded by Puneet Khanduri, a product builder whose experience spans identity verification, software reliability and open-source development. He has designed and built multiple identity-verification products.

Puneet led Diffy, an open-source project that helps teams detect unintended software changes before deployment. Diffy originated at Twitter and continued development at Sn126.

Earlier in his career, he worked on security software and cryptographic hardware at Sun Microsystems and conducted parallel-programming research at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. View his professional background.

At ProofAML, he applies that experience to accessible sanctions screening, clear source information and local processing, informed by feedback from people who use these tools.

What the data tells you

Each record links to its source and the date we observed it. Different sources can update at different times; a recent date on one list does not mean every list is equally current. Check the relevant Screening List and the issuing authority’s original record.

We are not an issuing authority. A name match needs review. A politically exposed person record is not a sanctions designation, and a wanted notice is not proof of guilt.

Source licensing terms differ. Our source license map explains the terms associated with individual sources.

What happens on your device

Your search and screening calculations run in your browser. Search prepares a complete record snapshot and the application files on your device. When the offline status shows ready, search, screening and record pages work without a connection, including after reopening this site. Fresh updates and external source websites still require connectivity; offline results reflect the saved snapshot. Browser storage can be cleared or evicted, so check the offline status.

Pages and list data are served from a distributed network, while your device does the screening work. This helps reduce bottlenecks during busy periods, but it is not a guarantee against outages.

Report a missing or incorrect record

Send the ProofAML page address and, if available, the original source to corrections@proofaml.com. If the original authority’s record is wrong, a change to that record must be requested from the authority itself.
