Every report includes two sections, Related Organisations and Related People. They list the companies and individuals Xapien found connected to your subject, and carry a Preliminary research only label.
What the cards show
Each card covers one organisation or person that appears alongside your subject, such as a company they direct, a business partner, a family member, a parent company or a subsidiary. It shows the relationship, any risk found and a short summary.
The card is built only from documents that mention your subject. Xapien hasn’t run a separate report on that person or company.
Why risk on a related party isn’t a finding about your subject
A report researches one subject, so every claim stays tied to that subject. Risk belonging to a related party, such as a parent company’s sanctions listing, only counts against your subject if they’re named in the same source. Treat it as a reason to look further.
To get a full report on a related entity, run onward research from its card. The results appear in your subject’s report. See Running onward research on related entities.
How related entities affect the risk rating
Each section has its own risk indicator, set by the highest risk across its cards. A subject with no risk of their own can still show risk here, for example if a business partner is a politically exposed person. Hover over a card’s risk indicator to see why.
Why an associate might be missing
Related entities are drawn from a sample of the documents collected about your subject, so an associate mentioned only a few times can be missed. Run a report on them directly, or re-run your subject’s report with more identifying detail.
