Challenge

Build a Sanctions and Entity Resolution Agent with OpenAI Agents SDK and Qwen 3

Financial compliance teams struggle with fast entity resolution across sanctions lists and ambiguous ownership structures. Build an automated sanctions screening pipeline using OpenAI Agents SDK and Qwen 3 that cross-references complex ownership graphs and generates actionable risk scores.

Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Construct an AI agent that extracts entity relationship networks and resolves sanction evasion pathways across multi-jurisdiction watchlist feeds.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates entity resolution accuracy and sanction risk scoring on synthetic ownership data.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

test_high_risk_flagging

Verify high risk score assigned to direct sanctioned matches

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

f1_score

F1 score for match detection • target: 0.95 • range: 0.85-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Implement fuzzy entity matching and graph-based ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) extraction.

  • Utilize OpenAI Agents SDK with Qwen 3 to orchestrate entity resolution tools.

  • Deliver automated sanction risk scoring with traceable decision paths.
