Investigation Agent

Builds the full investigation packet on escalated cases.

Pulls every thread on an escalated case (transaction flows, the entity network, adverse media, prior alerts) and assembles a coherent narrative of what happened and why it's suspicious. Spawns parallel sub-agents that fan out across every thread and merge into one link-analysis.

Illustrative workflow

How the work moves

Starting point

Escalation from the triage agent: confirmed structuring across three accounts.

  1. 01

    Spawn parallel sub-agents: transaction flow, entity network, adverse media.

  2. 02

    Merge findings into a timeline; identify the layering pattern.

  3. 03

    Quantify the suspicious sum and the deviation from expected activity.

  4. 04

    Draft the investigation summary with cited evidence.

Result

A filing-ready packet handed to the SAR drafting agent with a recommended decision.

Checks and boundaries

What must be tested or reviewed

  1. 01Agent-as-judge review of narrative completeness vs. the evidence.
  2. 02Citation discipline: every claim in the packet links to a source record.
  3. 03An oversight agent re-checks the packet before it proceeds to the BSA officer for filing.

Human authority

Acts only within an explicit policy, permission and escalation boundary.
