What it is

An unsupervised + supervised hybrid model continuously scans transactions, refunds and operational events to flag anomalies for human review. Reduces fraud losses and uncovers process leaks.

Data you need

12+ months of clean transactional data with labelled fraud cases.

Required systems

  • erp
  • data warehouse

Why it works

  • Tune threshold to keep alerts manageable for the review team
  • Quarterly model audit with a fraud SME

How this goes wrong

  • Too many false positives, analysts stop reviewing
  • Concept drift after a process change goes unnoticed

When NOT to do this

Don't deploy without a dedicated review team, alerts will be ignored.
