KYC screening questions

Hi all, my team and I have been having some discussions regarding how to close certain screening hits and I would appreciate the input of anyone who works in this sector. Basically, I would normally treat a one letter difference on a name or surname as a partial name match (I would not close the hit as a false positive only based on that), but there are some specific situations for which I would appreciate a second opinion:

- Simpson vs Sampson. Source for the first is UK Companies House, source for the second is a government website. Are the sources valid enough to treat this as a surname mismatch? I think not.

- Simpson vs Sampson. Source for one of them is an internally available ID. Here I have more doubts, although the second source could still have a typo.

First time using reddit so go easy on me. Thanks in advance!
