For AML reporting entities
NZ-domestic PEP & close-associate screening.
Screen names against New Zealand’s public-office holders — ministers and MPs, the senior judiciary, defence leadership, heads of mission, the Reserve Bank, Public Service chief executives, and the boards of state-owned enterprises — with per-record public-source provenance, 12-month lapse tracking, and an evidence-backed close-associates graph.

How it works
Ranked candidates, point-in-time answers, and evidence on every edge.
→
Name-only matching, ranked candidates.
Never a yes/no — exact, strong, and fuzzy tiers with scores. Your reviewer decides.
→
Point-in-time answers.
Holdings are append-only; as_at reproduces what the dataset said on any past date — evidence for your own audit trail.
→
12-month lapse tracking.
A holder who leaves office stays flagged as lapsed for 12 months rather than vanishing from results.
→
Delta feed for ongoing CDD.
Poll /changes for holdings opened or closed, lapse transitions, and associate edges — no re-screening.
→
Explainable associates.
Every edge carries the underlying public records — donation, directorship, declared interest, diary meetings. No black-box flags.
→
Batch, API, and MCP.
Screen up to 500 names per call; agent tooling speaks the same gated interface.
The associates graph
Built from records you can check, not signals you have to trust.
02
Directorships & interests
Companies Register directorships and declared pecuniary interests — shared boards and business relationships, with the register record on every edge.
03
Ministerial diaries
Repeated declared meetings from published ministerial diaries — who actually has access, on the public record.
What this is — and is not
A data feed for risk-based screening. Not a sanctions list, not a verdict.
→
Compiled exclusively from public sources.
The source URL is recorded on every record. Inclusion in the dataset is not an allegation of wrongdoing.
→
Name-only matching — human review required.
False positives are expected and results require human review. The Open Brief provides information, not legal or compliance advice.
→
Not a sanctions list, not identity verification.
A data feed for AML platforms and reporting entities doing risk-based screening of NZ persons — nothing more.
→
Not browsable on the public site.
Access is API-only, under an organisation-level agreement, with every screening call audit-logged.
