We used WorldCheck data at my last startup, it was the best in the business at the time. High quality groomed data, well tagged, with an actual timeline for each entity that explains why they're in there. Absolute top notch.

From reviewing my own record there - it contained some factual errors.

Friends reported the same.

Yeah if you don't care about the false positives I'm sure it was great.

To use the World-Check datafile, you need decent tooling to go with it. You can either build your own, or use theirs. That said, it’s only as good as the analysts using the tools as well as the consultants configuring it. It’s a hard problem.
