Ms Josephine Feehily:

Yes, it is applied in that way. It makes links but makes them between a bigger range of entities than we would be able to do by looking at things in a linear fashion. When we expand the range of entities from tax numbers, names, addresses, company numbers and directors, the classic one as we are testing for commonality, to bank accounts, phone numbers and properties, we get a richer set of connections. That may or may not be risky but we must risk rate them and that is where the testing is taking place, to see if we can risk rate a network.

For one of the pilot cases, it helped in an investigation to show up a much broader range of connections than we were aware of between entities we were already looking at. That is as far as I could go at present.
