HHG-002
uncertainOpenno pattern identified
Case HHG-002 regarding transaction 3478782 on card C11891-K1 resulted in an uncertain verdict with a fraud probability of 0.17, as the real-time model score of 0.79 was not corroborated by other signals and the customer did not reply to the validation request within the 24-hour window. The evidence presented mixed signals, including three confirming precedents (CC-0712, CC-0783, CC-0762) and two disconfirming precedents (CC-0678, CC-0702), all lacking direct structural overlap. Consequently, the final actions include VERIFY_WITH_CUSTOMER (auto, R1), STEP_UP_AUTH (auto, R1), MONITOR_CARD (auto, R4), and DECLINE_TRANSACTION (L1, R4), with the latter recommended under rule R4 via route L1 pending approval. The investigation remains unresolved due to the lack of definitive evidence linking the activity to a broader fraud campaign or shared devices.

The assumed customer validation response (No reply received from the customer within the 24-hour window.) did not move fraud probability (stayed at 0.17); actions are unchanged from the initial recommendation.

Every rule below is a deterministic predicate evaluated against this case’s evidence — not a model’s assertion of an outcome. The engine checks all ten; most do not apply here, and that is shown deliberately.

- R2 did not fire
- Customer was asked to validate and denied the charge.

- Device profile, billing region, or recipient email shared across multiple cards in one window.
- R7 did not fire
- Disputed charge matches the customer's own recurring pattern — merchant, amount, monthly.
- R8 did not fire
- Verdict uncertain with exposure over $500, or evidence conflicts.
- R9 did not fire
- Fits none of the five documented patterns, and abuse is coordinated or repeated across customers.
- R10 did not fire
- BLOCK_ALL_CARDS was proposed — requires 2+ cards confirmed fraud or confirmed compromised credentials, else downgrades to a single-card BLOCK_CARD.
The closed-case history runs 4,665 confirmed fraud to 900 cleared — a single merged ranking over that history returns almost nothing but incriminating cases and pushes every verdict toward blocking. Retrieval runs as two separate pools, confirming and exonerating, so that imbalance cannot silently decide the case.
