API response comparisons

It’s easy to upgrade from the standard PEP and sanctions service to GBG Watchlist Screening with Dow Jones data, GBG will simply make a configuration change. This will not change the API structure but it will change some of the API responses.

Here is a table comparing the API responses.

Standard Watchlist - Results	Watchlist Dow Jones - no matches	Watchlist Dow Jones - match on PEP	Watchlist Dow Jones - match on Sanctions
