Investigation Agent

⬡ Bloodhound Builds the full investigation packet on escalated cases.
◆ Autonomous Orchestrator

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.

Memory

Working The case hypothesis and evidence board.
Episodic Linked prior cases and the entity's history.
Semantic Money-laundering typologies and red-flag indicators.
Store Knowledge graph (entity/transaction network) + case store

Orchestration

Evals & guardrails

  • Agent-as-judge review of narrative completeness vs. the evidence.
  • Citation discipline … every claim in the packet links to a source record.
  • An oversight agent approves the packet before anything proceeds to filing.

Offline reflection

Replays cases later confirmed (or cleared) to refine which red-flag combinations predict suspicious activity … sharpening the model, not just storing cases.

Frontier edge

  • Causal/counterfactual link analysis: tests whether the layering chain holds up under 'what if this hop were innocent?', so the narrative rests on a defensible chain of cause, not a suggestive coincidence of timing.
  • Long-horizon orchestration: runs a half-day, checkpointed investigation, fanning parallel research sub-agents across transaction, network and media threads and merging them into one cited timeline.
  • Self-improving fleet: red-flag combinations validated on confirmed cases are shared across the investigator population between runs (eval-gated), so the whole desk gets sharper, not just one case file.

A sample run

Trigger Escalation from the triage agent: confirmed structuring across three accounts.
  1. 1Spawn parallel sub-agents: transaction flow, entity network, adverse media.
  2. 2Merge findings into a timeline; identify the layering pattern.
  3. 3Quantify the suspicious sum and the deviation from expected activity.
  4. 4Draft the investigation summary with cited evidence.
Output A filing-ready packet handed to the SAR drafting agent with a recommended decision.
