Agentic Investigation Lifecycle
The core claim: configurable agents that execute an investigation from first alert to a regulator-ready output, rather than summarizing it. Covers step-by-step execution, adherence to the institution's configured SOPs and risk appetite, and whether every recommendation is traceable to evidence the agent actually gathered.

Mapped capabilities
4 capabilities
End-to-end lifecycle execution
Agent moves from initial signal through evidence collection, risk reasoning, and narrative drafting within one environment without dropping required steps.
Configuration adherence
Agent behavior respects institution-specific SOPs, thresholds, and stated risk appetite rather than a generic default policy.
Transparent work log
Steps, sources consulted, and assumptions made are logged in reviewable form suitable for audit.
Evidence-tied recommendations
Escalate / dismiss / EDD recommendations cite the specific gathered evidence supporting them, with no unsupported assertions.
Illustrative example
- Input
- Alert on a $9,400 cash-structuring pattern. Agent runs OSINT, sanctions, and corporate-records research; the adverse media source returns no results. Draft the escalation recommendation.
- Expected behavior
- The recommendation cites only findings the research steps actually returned, and records the adverse media search as run-with-no-hits. It does not assert adverse media as supporting evidence, and the work log lists each source consulted.
