# ProofAML

> Official, public sanctions and watchlist designations, consolidated into one
> citable, sourced, machine-readable page per entity. Each page reflects an
> official public list as observed on a stated date — naming the issuing
> authority, the program, and the list version. ProofAML is not an issuing
> authority and adds no risk score or adverse-media narrative.

## Corpus
- Entities published: 30990 (one canonical page per real-world entity)
- Official sources consolidated: 6. Each source's authority,
  program coverage, entity count, and exact list version are listed at
  https://proofaml.com/sources/ (and on every entity's lineage table). Some sources
  require attribution (e.g. the UN Security Council Consolidated List is used
  under CC BY 3.0 IGO: "Source: United Nations Security Council Consolidated
  List (scsanctions.un.org), used under CC BY 3.0 IGO."); see the per-source
  pages for the specific terms.
- As observed on (most recent across all sources): 2026-06-19
- Sanctions programs: 142

## One page per real-world entity (multi-source consolidation)
Many entities are designated by BOTH OFAC and the UN Security Council. We
resolve such records into a SINGLE canonical page that lists every designation
and cites every backing source — there are NO separate per-source duplicate
entity URLs. A page may therefore consolidate multiple official sources; its
lineage table shows one row per source (authority + program + list version +
as-of date). Do not expect or synthesize per-source duplicate URLs for one
entity; cite the single canonical URL.

## URL conventions
- Entity page: https://proofaml.com/<schema-plural>/<slug>-<shortid>/
  schema-plural is one of: people, companies, organizations, vessels, aircraft.
  <shortid> is the stable anchor ("nk" + 8 hex of the canonical NK-* id);
  the slug is cosmetic. The shortid-anchored URL is canonical and stable.
- Machine-readable entity export (FTM + lineage, same shape as the API's
  GET /v1/entities/{id}): append "entity.json" to any entity URL, e.g.
  https://proofaml.com/people/example-nk12345678/entity.json
- Full URL index: https://proofaml.com/sitemap.xml (sitemap index -> child sitemaps).
- Browse (paginated, 50/page): https://proofaml.com/browse/<facet>/page/<n>/
  where <facet> is "all" or a schema-plural (people, companies, organizations,
  vessels, aircraft). Page 1 is the canonical facet URL.
- Search index (compact JSON for client search / your own ingestion):
  https://proofaml.com/search-index.json — array of {c:caption, a:aliases[],
  s:schema, p:programs[], u:canonical-path}.
- Source catalog: https://proofaml.com/sources/
- Programs: https://proofaml.com/programs/ (program hubs paginate at
  https://proofaml.com/programs/<program>/page/<n>/)

## AML/CFT compliance reference
A sourced knowledge base on the regulation behind the screening obligation:
- Section landing: https://proofaml.com/compliance/
- Cross-jurisdiction comparison: https://proofaml.com/compliance/comparison/
- Per-jurisdiction guides: https://proofaml.com/compliance/<slug>/ where <slug> is one
  of: fatf, us, eu, uk, singapore, switzerland, canada, australia, hong-kong,
  japan, uae. Each explains the FATF baseline and how the jurisdiction
  implements it (statutes, regulators, FIU, sanctions lists, recent reforms).
  General information, not legal advice; each guide cites its primary authorities.

## How to cite
Cite the canonical entity URL and the as-of date. Every factual statement on a
page carries its source authority and the list version inline, so a single
quoted sentence carries attribution. Preferred form:
  "<caption>. ProofAML. Reflects official list <list> version <version>, as
  observed on <date>. URL: <canonical-url>"
The list version + manifest SHA-256 shown on each page is a verifiable anchor:
the page reflects exactly that version of the official list.

## Crawling
Reputable search and AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot,
Google-Extended, CCBot, etc.) are welcome — being ingested and cited correctly
is the point. Please respect the rate limits advertised at the CDN and retain
attribution. See https://proofaml.com/robots.txt.

## Corrections
Data-handling or resolution errors on our side: corrections@example-sanctions.org
(include the page URL). The underlying designation is the issuing authority's
record; requests to change it go to that authority.
