Short, practical lessons for the people who run screening every day. No certification theatre, no three-hour webinars.
How it works
Scroll to advance
Four steps, from new joiner to reviewer
-
Step 01
Start with the vocabulary
PEP tiers, list types, match rates and what each one actually means in a queue.
-
Step 02
Work a real queue
Clear, escalate and whitelist against worked examples with the reasoning shown.
-
Step 03
Write the decision
Reason codes, narratives and what an auditor looks for in a case file.
-
Step 04
Tune and review
Thresholds per segment, backtesting a change and reviewing someone else's clearance.

FAQ
Before you start
Is there a certificate?
Not today. The lessons are written to be useful in a queue, not to sit in a folder.
Do I need a Complead account?
No. Every lesson is readable without signing up.
Can we train a whole team?
Yes. Tell us the team size and we will run the tracks as a live session.
Does it only apply to Complead?
No. The concepts are tool agnostic, and the examples say when something is product specific.
Train the team, not just the tool
Tell us how your queue is staffed and we will put the tracks together as a live session for your analysts.
