Where they overlap
Both concepts help narrow down a review, but they usually answer slightly different questions about pep screening vs sanctions screening.
Where they differ
One side tends to focus on pep screening, while the other is more useful when you need to understand sanctions screening.
When to use each one
Choose the check that best matches the evidence you need to explain to a colleague, client, or reviewer.

The most common mistake is treating similar terms as if they always mean the same thing. They often do not.
What to do next
Use the result as a prompt for the next question, then check the underlying record yourself before you rely on the comparison.
