Decisions with documented reasoning

Three ways a case closes.

Every case Synapse ingests exits through one of three pathways. Nothing disappears into a queue, and nothing ships without a reason attached.

01
Case suppression
Records that cannot legally or factually belong to the subject are suppressed automatically. Identifier thresholds — name, date of birth, SSN, address history — decide what matches, and the suppression carries its reasoning.
02
Human review escalation
Ambiguous cases go to an analyst with the evidence already assembled: the record, the matching identifiers, and the rule that paused the decision. Humans decide; Synapse prepares.
03
County search order confirmation
Positive hits dispatch county-level confirmation searches automatically through the TazWorks integration, so primary-source verification starts in seconds rather than days.

Compliance-grade matching, not vibes.

Synapse’s decisioning is built on explicit, testable rules — the same standards an auditor would apply by hand, executed identically on every case.

Identifier thresholds

Records match on evidence: name plus full date of birth, SSN, address, or driver’s license combinations. Partial dates of birth are gated so weak evidence cannot carry a match.

Common-name handling

Common names face a stricter baseline. A John Smith needs more corroborating identifiers than a rare name before any record is treated as his.

FCRA reportability

Reportability rules are encoded directly in the workflow, so what leaves the system is what the law allows to be reported — not simply what a database returned.

Reasoning on every decision

Each automated decision ships with the rule path and evidence behind it. Reviewers see why, not just what — and audits reconstruct any case in full.

Analysts get a workbench, not a backlog.

The Synapse portal presents records with their status and evidence side by side. Bulk resolution, per-record review, and county confirmation live in one quiet interface.
