Fraud Detection System

A transaction-monitoring simulation designed around explainable risk signals. Instead of a vague “AI score,” the page shows why a transaction looks suspicious, what queue it belongs in, and how an analyst should think about the alert.

Analytical Question Which transactions deserve manual review or escalation, and what pattern is driving the suspicion?
Outputs Risk scores, reason codes, queue segmentation, analyst review context, and alert triage.
Use Case Useful for demonstrating interpretable monitoring logic in a fraud-operations workflow.
Interactive Model

Score, Filter, Triage

Use the page like a review analyst would: scan the highest-risk items, inspect the reason codes, and decide whether the activity belongs in monitoring, review, or escalation.

What This Models

A rules-based fraud engine where ticket size, merchant type, location, timing, and repeat behavior combine into a transaction risk score.

How To Use It

Start with the queue metrics, filter the transaction list, and inspect the reasons behind the highest-risk items before deciding whether to escalate.

How To Read The Output

A high score matters only if the alert is explainable. This page is built to surface the logic behind the score, not just the number itself.

Methodology

  • Risk is additive across suspicious amount, merchant type, geography, timing, and repeat exposure.
  • Reason codes are generated alongside the score so the queue remains reviewable by a human analyst.
  • Queue state is deliberately simple: monitor, review, or escalate.

Limits

  • No identity graph, device intelligence, or historical cardholder behavior is modeled here.
  • This is not a live ML classifier and does not update from investigator outcomes.
  • The value of the page is transparent fraud triage logic, not production-grade fraud prevention.
