Alert to SAR

Monitoring and screening produce alert queues. Cadre maps the work from triage through investigation and SAR-package preparation, with Conductor assigning specialists and the BSA officer retaining the filing decision.

Orchestration

Case orchestration
Cadre pack · Conductor

Plans a supplied flagged case across triage, investigation, and package preparation, choosing the next step from each specialist result and retaining the path for review.

  • hands the case to Alert triage
  • hands the case to Case investigation
  • hands the case to SAR package preparation

Detect

Transaction monitoring
Bank system

Transaction-monitoring scenario outputs enter the alert queue for triage.

Payment screening
Bank system

Name-screening hits enter sanctions disposition with the supplied OFAC SDN evidence.

Triage & disposition

Alert triage
Cadre pack · Sift

Front-line disposition of a monitoring-alert queue — close with a note, or escalate with reason codes.

Sanctions disposition
Cadre pack · Cerberus

Clears, blocks, or escalates sanctions name-match hits from the supplied SDN evidence.

KYC / CDD refresh
Open work

Pull refreshed customer due diligence into the case file when triage escalates. Open work — no Cadre pack is assigned yet.

314(b) sharing
Open work

Inter-institution information requests on escalated cases. Open work — no Cadre pack is assigned yet.

Investigate

Case investigation
Cadre pack · Bloodhound

Builds the investigation packet on escalated cases and recommends SAR / no-SAR, handing the sanctions screen to Cerberus as a focused specialist.

  • hands the case to Sanctions disposition

File & review

SAR package preparation
Cadre pack · Scribe

Drafts the SAR from the packet, validates completeness, and routes the package for accountable approval.

Narrative quality
Cadre pack · Redliner

Drafts from the investigation packet, checks the result against a completeness rubric, and revises without adding unsupported facts.

BSA officer
Human checkpoint

Escalated cases and filing decisions land here — the accountable approval point illustrated by Aarvion policy.

FinCEN e-filing
Bank system

The external submission rail used after accountable approval; no Cadre pack owns this step.

Tune

Scenario tuning
Cadre pack · Calibrate

Proposes detection-threshold changes and records whether the deterministic backtest clears its gate.

The walkthrough

  1. 1

    Monitoring and screening outputs enter separate queues; Cadre begins with the cases supplied to its packs.

  2. 2

    Sift works the supplied transaction-monitoring queue — close with a note, or escalate with reason codes.

    Open example capture
  3. 3

    Cerberus compares a sanctions name-hit with the supplied SDN evidence, then clears, blocks, or escalates within its defined scope.

    Open example capture
  4. 4

    Escalations open a case. Bloodhound builds the investigation packet and hands the subject to Cerberus for a fresh sanctions screen.

  5. 5

    On a flagged case the packs work as one: Conductor plans the case, routes each stage to the right specialist, and replans from every result.

  6. 6

    In this example, Aarvion blocks submission without BSA-officer approval and sends the case back for review.

  7. 7

    Calibrate proposes a threshold change and records the backtest result; production adoption remains an accountable change decision.
