CASE-A1 — Orchestration Start
Phase 1: PLAN — I'll read the alert, customer profile, and prior alerts in parallel to form an initial hypothesis before routing anything.
The alert references customer C6 — let me pull that profile.
Initial Hypothesis Formed:
- Alert: Classic structuring pattern — 4 cash deposits ($8,900–$9,700) across 2 branches in 5 days, each deliberately below the $10K CTR threshold.
- Customer: Greenfield Auto Parts (C6), medium-risk business. Expected activity is card settlements and supplier ACH — cash deposits are anomalous for this profile.
- Prior Alerts: None. First-time flag on this customer.
- Hypothesis: The sub-CTR structuring pattern on a business that shouldn't be cash-heavy is a serious red flag. I expect triage to escalate. Prepare mentally for investigation and potentially filing — but I follow the gate.
Phase 2: TRIAGE — Always first, no exceptions.
Triage returned: escalate | Risk Score: 0.88
Reason codes: structuring, sub-threshold-cash, cross-branch-deposits, profile-deviation, cash-inconsistent-with-wholesale-model
The gate is clear — risk score of 0.88 with textbook structuring indicators. I am routing to investigation.
Phase 3: INVESTIGATION — Escalation warranted.
Investigation returned: SAR recommendation
- Sanctions screening: CLEAR (no OFAC hits, no adverse media)
- Typology confirmed: Structuring under 31 U.S.C. §5324(a)
- $37,300 across 4 deposits in 5 days, deliberately sub-threshold, multi-branch, profile-inconsistent
- No exculpatory facts on record
The recommendation is unambiguous. I am routing to filing.
Phase 4: FILING — SAR recommended.
Filing returned: SAR filed — validation COMPLETE, no issues.
- SAR covers 2026-05-11 → 2026-05-15, $37,300 USD
- Regulatory basis: 31 U.S.C. §5324(a) / 31 CFR 1020.320
- Filing deadline: 2026-06-14
All three stages executed. I now commit the case record.
Phase 5: COMMIT — Full path, final disposition.
The decision brief
CASE-A1 — Closed: SAR Filed
Here is the full orchestration record:
| Stage | Agent | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Triage | fincrime.tm.triage | Escalate — Risk score 0.88. Textbook structuring: 4 sub-threshold cash deposits, multi-branch, profile-inconsistent. |
| Investigation | fincrime.sar.investigator | SAR — Structuring confirmed under §5324(a). $37,300 / 5 days / 2+ branches. Sanctions CLEAR. No exculpatory facts. |
| Filing | fincrime.sar.filing | SAR Filed — Period: 2026-05-11 to 2026-05-15. $37,300 USD. Validation complete. Deadline: 2026-06-14. |
Final Disposition: sar-filed | SAR Filed: true
Routing Rationale: Triage's 0.88 risk score and structural indicators made closing without investigation indefensible. Investigation confirmed every red flag and found nothing exculpatory — no profile amendment, no seasonal explanation, no prior benign pattern. Filing completed cleanly. The full three-stage path was the correct and minimum-sufficient expenditure of investigative effort for this case.
