KYB company screen: OFAC entity match + firmographics + jurisdiction risk API

Lightweight Know-Your-Business screen for a company NAME. Fuzzy-matches the name against OFAC SDN ENTITY records only (the organisations OFAC lists — banks, airlines, trading companies — never individuals or vessels), enriches it with keyless Wikidata firmographics (country, industry, inception year, headquarters, official website), and folds in a FATF/OFAC jurisdiction-risk note when the resolved country is high-risk. Returns one deterministic verdict — clear / possible_match / sanctioned_match — plus the matched SDN entity (with entity number and sanctions program), the firmographics, and a disclaimer. Distinct from identity-sanctions-screen (matches any name, mostly individuals) and chain-sanctioned-address (crypto addresses): this is company/entity KYB by name. Answers 'Is this company on the OFAC sanctions list?', 'Should I onboard this business?', 'What country and industry is this company, and is its jurisdiction high-risk?'.
