### Demo walkthrough (video scenario)

A bank's 1,247-alert overnight queue. Every operation has demo defaults; nothing is blocked, sent or filed.

| Turn | User prompt | Operation | Key values |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Review overnight fraud activity and show me what needs immediate attention | `alert_triage` | 1,247 alerts; Critical 23 / $892K (immediate review), High 67 / $1.4M (today), Medium 234 / $2.1M (48-hour queue), Low 923 / $3.2M (auto-disposition); critical breakdown ATO 8 ($34K avg), card ring 6 ($28K), wire 5 ($67K), check 4 ($42K); immediate #F-78234 ($127K wire), #F-78156 (takeover), #F-78089 (card testing) |
| 2 | Yes, show me the pattern analysis and connected activity | `pattern_detection` | 3 organized fraud rings: ATO network (#F-78156, 12 accounts, $340K, same device fingerprint, 8 resets in 2 hours, 94%); card testing (47 cards in 4 hours, gas stations, 3 states, 23% success, 87%); wire fraud (5 new accounts, mule destinations, 91%) |
| 3 | Yes, investigate the account takeover ring and show me the accounts | `transaction_analysis` | 12 accounts, $340K; ***4521 J. Morrison $89K compromised, ***7834 S. Chen $67K compromised, ***2156 M. Williams $54K attempted; timeline 2:14 / 2:18 / 2:22 / 2:34 ($15K wire) / 2:35 AM held; customer verified no activity at 6 AM |
| 4 | Yes, create investigation cases and take protective action | `investigation_summary` | Proposed actions ready for authorized execution: freeze 12, cards 18, wires 5 pending, password reset 12; draft cases FRD-2024-1847 ATO Ring $340K (Senior Analyst), FRD-2024-1848 Card Testing $127K (Card Team), FRD-2024-1849 Wire Fraud $224K (Wire Team); SAR draft; communications drafted |
| 5 | Yes, show me our fraud prevention performance and any concerning trends | `prevention_metrics` | Detection 94.2% vs 90%; false positive 2.8% vs 5%; detection time 4.2 sec vs 10 sec; losses prevented $4.8M vs $4M; ATO +34%, card present -12%, wire +2% |
| 6 | Yes, summarize everything and give me the action items | `morning_summary` | 1,247 reviewed; 23 critical; 3 rings; 12 accounts; $691K ($340K ATO + $351K other); 3 cases; SAR (48-hour deadline), 4 high-value outreach, card team coordination |

The video's critical-breakdown averages are rounded (8 x $34K + 6 x $28K + 5 x $67K + 4 x $42K is about $943K against the
$892K critical-tier value); both are shown as recorded. The video's "protective actions executed" and "12 alerts sent"
are staged for authorized execution here.

### FDA-01 — Fraud Operations Manager

- Prompt: Review overnight fraud activity and show me what needs immediate attention.
- Operation: `alert_triage`
- Arguments: `{}`
- Required factual anchors: `1,247 overnight alerts`, `$892K`, `F-78234`

```text
> **SYNTHETIC DEMO DATA — INVESTIGATOR REVIEW REQUIRED.** Fictional alerts and accounts only. A score or pattern is not proof of fraud. No card, account, payment, wire, report, or filing has been blocked, changed, submitted, or completed.

# Fraud Alert Triage

1,247 overnight alerts analyzed. 23 critical requiring immediate action.

| Priority | Alerts | Value | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | 23 | $892K | Immediate review |
| High | 67 | $1.4M | Today |
| Medium | 234 | $2.1M | 48-hour queue |
| Low | 923 | $3.2M | Auto-disposition |

## Critical Breakdown

- Account takeover: 8 ($34K avg) - Credential change + transfer
- Card fraud ring: 6 ($28K avg) - Multi-location velocity
- Wire fraud: 5 ($67K avg) - First-time international
- Check fraud: 4 ($42K avg) - Duplicate deposit

**Immediate:** Alert #F-78234 ($127K wire to high-risk jurisdiction), Alert #F-78156 (takeover in progress), Alert #F-78089 (card testing). Most urgent: #F-78234 - route to the Wire Team.

## Monitored Card Transactions (sample)

**High-Risk Transactions:** 5
**Flagged Amount:** $32,450.00
**Open Cases:** 3

## Flagged Transactions

| TXN ID | Account | Amount | Merchant | Country | Risk | Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TXN-90001 | 4532-XXXX-8891 | $4,850.00 | ElectroMax Dubai | AE | 88 | Critical |

## Alert Rules Triggered

- **RULE-001 (Velocity Check):** Multiple high-value transactions within 1 hour [HIGH]
- **RULE-002 (Geographic Anomaly):** Transaction in country with no prior history [HIGH]
- **RULE-004 (Wire to High-Risk Country):** Wire transfer to FATF grey/black list country [CRITICAL]
- **RULE-006 (Account Takeover Pattern):** Password change followed by high-value transaction [CRITICAL]
- **RULE-003 (Crypto Purchase Spike):** Unusual crypto exchange activity [MEDIUM]
