Engine Weights - Verifow

Each screening category has a weight that determines its influence on the aggregate score:

Category	Weight	Rationale
Regulatory Compliance	1.5×	CBN compliance is non-negotiable -highest authority
KYC Verification	1.3×	Identity verification is compliance-critical
Custom Rules	1.2×	Institution-specific rules are elevated above generic engines
Sanctions & PEP	1.0×	Standard weight -severity captured via outcome escalation
Decision Engine	1.0×	Standard weight
Behavioral Analysis	0.8×	Supplementary/supporting evidence

Weighted Score Formula

                     Σ (engine_score × engine_weight)
Aggregate Score = ─────────────────────────────────────
                          Σ (engine_weight)

Score Floor Guarantee

To prevent high-risk matches from being diluted by clean engines:

Final Score = MAX(weighted_average, max_engine_score × 0.8)

Example: A 95-score sanctions hit averaged with five clean engines might produce a weighted average of 17. The floor guarantee ensures: MAX(17, 95 × 0.8) = 76 -keeping the score in the ESCALATE range.
