CASE-A1 — Orchestration Start
Plan: Read the alert first to identify the customer, then pull the customer profile and prior alert history in parallel. Size the case, then triage.
Alert read. Customer C6, structuring scenario — 4 cash deposits just under the CTR threshold across two branches in 5 days. This is a classic structuring pattern. Now pulling the customer profile and prior alert history in parallel.
Sizing complete. Key observations before triage:
Greenfield Auto Parts— auto-parts wholesaler. Expected activity: card settlements & supplier ACH. Cash deposits are not in the expected activity profile.- Medium risk rating, account opened Feb 2023.
- No prior alerts — clean history.
- Pattern: 4 sub-threshold cash deposits ($8,900–$9,700), two branches, five days. Classic structuring signature.
Hypothesis: High likelihood of escalation given the mismatch between expected activity (ACH/card) and repeated sub-threshold cash — but triage decides. Routing to Sift now.
Stage 1 — TRIAGE
Triage → ESCALATE | Risk score: 0.89
Reason codes confirm all five structuring red flags: sub-threshold cash, cross-branch, profile deviation, and cash-not-expected for this business type. Triage narrative finds no benign reconciliation. Proceeding to investigation — do not stop here.
Stage 2 — INVESTIGATION
Investigation → SAR RECOMMENDED
Bloodhound's findings are unambiguous:
- All 4 deposits deliberately sized $8,900–$9,700 — statistically improbable coincidence; hallmark structuring band.
- Multi-branch dispersion (≥2 branches + ATM) consistent with wilful CTR evasion under 31 U.S.C. § 5324.
- $37,300 aggregate — one transaction would have triggered a CTR; splitting evades it.
- Zero KYC documentation of any cash-sales component for this B2B wholesaler.
- Sanctions: clear. Adverse media: none. These do not resolve the articulable suspicion.
SAR is recommended. Proceeding to filing — routing full packet to Scribe.
Stage 3 — FILING
Filing → BLOCKED by governance gate cadre_sar_gate_v1.
The control plane has intervened: autonomous SAR filing requires BSA officer approval. This is beyond what the specialist sub-agents can resolve autonomously. Per mandate, I must not fabricate a disposition — I will commit as escalated and route to senior oversight for human sign-off.

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Case ID | CASE-A1 |

| Alert | A1 — Structuring / sub-threshold cash |
| Path taken | triage → investigation → filing |
| Final disposition | ESCALATED |
| SAR filed | fail No |
What happened at each stage
🔵 Triage (Sift) — ESCALATE | Risk score 0.89
Four sub-threshold cash deposits across two branches in five days fired five reason codes. The pattern was irreconcilable with a B2B wholesaler's expected ACH/card profile. Triage could not close this case.
🔵 Investigation (Bloodhound) — SAR recommended
Full typology assessment confirmed deliberate structuring under 31 U.S.C. § 5324: sub-threshold sizing ($8,900–$9,700 band), multi-branch dispersion, $37,300 aggregate that splits a single CTR obligation across four transactions, and a KYC profile with zero documented cash-sales rationale. Sanctions clear; no adverse media; no prior alerts — noted but not exculpatory.
🔴 Filing (Scribe) — BLOCKED — cadre_sar_gate_v1
Governance gate intervened: autonomous SAR filing requires BSA officer approval. The filing did not execute.
Action required
A BSA officer must review the full investigation packet for CASE-A1 and authorise SAR submission to FinCEN. The case and packet have been committed to the control plane. No human outreach to Greenfield Auto Parts should occur before the BSA officer reviews (tipping-off risk).
