Financial Crime

Financial-crime workflows specialize a case with typology fields, watchlist hits, and a brief the investigator can defend. Eridian does not decide "file / do not file." It organizes the file.

Typology fields

When typology is aml, sanctions, or fraud, you may set:

PATCH /v1/risk/cases/cse_0912/fc
Authorization: Bearer eridian_sk_...

{
  "subjects": [
    { "role": "originator", "ref": "cif_9912", "masked": true }
  ],
  "instruments": ["wire"],
  "jurisdictions": ["AE", "ZA", "HK"],
  "amount_usd_range": "100k_1m",
  "watchlist_hits": ["wl_ofac_false_possible"]
}

Do not send full PAN, full national id, or unhashed account numbers. Use your customer's CIF and let PII redaction mask residual entities before GPT or Gemini.

Investigation brief

POST /v1/risk/cases/cse_0912/fc/brief

{
  "model": "gpt",
  "include": ["narrative", "timeline", "counterparties", "open_questions"]
}

{
  "id": "fcb_0912",
  "object": "eridian.risk.fc.brief",
  "narrative": "Seventeen near-threshold wires after 22:00 local, desk PX-12...",
  "open_questions": [
    "Is payroll calendar aligned with the burst?",
    "Has the originator used this beneficiary before?"
  ],
  "citations": ["evd_01", "evd_02"],
  "eridian": { "route": "gpt" }
}

open_questions is required. A brief that reads as a closed verdict without questions is a quality failure. Eval should reject it.

Sanctions

Sanctions hits from your screening system arrive as evidence (kind: screening_hit). Eridian will not call a third-party sanctions API. False-positive language in the brief must cite the screening evidence id. Do not prompt "clear this hit."

Fraud

Fraud briefs may include device or session metadata you attach as evidence. They must not recommend blocking a customer as an automated action. Blocking is your core system, optionally gated by Risk Approvals if you expose it as a high_risk tool.

Jurisdictions

jurisdictions uses ISO 3166-1 alpha-2. Dubai work often includes AE. Hong Kong HK. South Africa ZA. Those codes are case metadata. They do not move residency. Residency is the project pin.
