Want to Map Mentioned Counterparty Connections From Your Content? With One Click in YC World

A two-hour investigative interview about companies, a 7,000-character article on the blog — watching/reading it is the first step. But how do you analyse every person and company mentioned and then map their connections? 

It takes a lot of time, and there’s always the risk of missing something or interpreting a detail incorrectly. 

If you’re struggling with this, that’s why you need Data Extractor, a module in YC World. It turns your content into a connections graph, automates the connections check, and lets you work faster and with more confidence. 

What Is the YC World Data Extractor

YC World makes international compliance KYC, KYB, and AML analytics accessible and efficient. You can identify connections between companies and individuals by name or registration code in the YC World system. It visualises these connections on a graph and allows you to have helicopter view across borders.

But you can also take things a step further ➡️ Data Extractor is an AI tool within the YC World system that automates the transformation of various types of content into a connection graph.

Іf you have your own pool of information about companies and individuals — journalistic investigations, audio, video interviews etc — you can transform this information into structured and visualised connections using Data Extractor.

Let’s See How Data Extractor Works

Here is an article we are going to show you as an example:  How and where Russians hide their assets.

You can also upload a file, video, audio, link, spreadsheet, or text (It works best if your material is in English, but other languages are also supported).

The first step is to upload content in YC World. Then, you will get a list of entities (company names, individuals, and organisations) and the map of connections.

What did we gain?

1,073 words processed → 6 companies • 5 individuals • 4 properties • 4 organisations → 19 entities automatically mapped and 1 sanctioned jurisdiction flagged

The Map Is Ready — What Next?

The connections transformed by Data Extractor can either complement the checks in YC World or be used on their own.

Once the connections on the map are established, the system displays all the mentioned individuals and companies, and marks the type of link — such as ownership, directorship or family ties. If an individual or company is found in YC World, you will get information about them from official sources (such as PEP status, sanctions, assets etc).

💡 Tip: Check the YC World Data Coverage to make sure the countries and sources you need are included. This will help you understand which connections, registries, and datasets the system can analyse and visualise.

Work with the map of connections by adding new data points to existing links. You can also create a custom entity, add an existing one from a YC World search, or set up a completely new connection. 

💡 Just a reminder from our team: Data Extractor is an AI tool, so you’ll still need to check results yourself. However, your review will take less time than manually analysing all the materials from scratch.

The Data Extractor complements counterparty connection checks in YC World and frees up resources for deeper analysis.
