How the matching works
Names are compared after accents are stripped and punctuation flattened, with word order ignored, so Putin Vladimir and Vladimir Putin score alike. Each word is weighted by how rare it is across the whole list: a surname carried by hundreds of designated parties counts for little, a distinctive one counts for a lot. Words in the listed name that your query does not account for pull the score down, so matching two words of a four-word name stays weak even when both are exact.
Name matching is approximate by design. A match means "look closer", never "this is the same party", and an empty result is not a clearance. Ownership is not resolved: a company owned at or above 50 percent by designated parties is blocked under the OFAC 50 percent rule even though it appears on no list, and it will not be found here. Confirm every hit against the official record before acting.
