The Challenge

Every Financial Crime Investigation Begins the Same Way

A transaction flags in your system. Maybe it's a wire transfer to a high-risk jurisdiction. Maybe it's a pattern of structured deposits just under reporting thresholds. Maybe it's a name that partially matches someone on a watchlist.

Now the real work begins. You need to determine if this is one of the 95% of alerts that turn out to be legitimate business activity, or one of the 5% that represents actual criminal conduct.

And if it is criminal, you need to understand the full scope: Who are the beneficial owners behind these shell companies? Where did the money actually originate? How many jurisdictions are involved? What's the evidentiary chain that will hold up under cross-examination?

Public Safety was built for this moment.

Stage 1

From Alert Overload to Intelligent Prioritization

The Challenge

Your team receives hundreds, sometimes thousands, of alerts daily. Legacy systems generate false positive rates exceeding 90%, burying genuine threats in noise. Investigators develop "alert fatigue," and critical signals get lost.

AI-Powered Alert Scoring

Public Safety applies machine learning models trained on confirmed suspicious activity patterns to score every alert based on genuine risk indicators. The system considers transaction characteristics, entity risk profiles, behavioral anomalies, and network connections, not just threshold breaches.

Contextual Risk Scoring

Composite scores based on multiple risk dimensions, not binary rule triggers

Behavioral Baselines

ML establishes normal patterns, flagging genuine deviations rather than arbitrary thresholds

Network Risk Propagation

Entity risk scores incorporate connected party profiles

Continuous Learning

Investigator dispositions feed back into models

Investigators focus on alerts most likely to represent genuine suspicious activity. False positive rates drop by 70% or more, freeing analyst capacity for substantive investigation work.

Stage 2

Reveal Who's Really Behind the Transaction

Entity Resolution Demo

Enter a company name to see entity resolution in action

The Challenge

The wire transfer went to "Global Trading Solutions LLC." Who actually controls that entity? Traditional systems struggle with minor name variations, transliteration differences, and deliberate obfuscation through nominee directors and layered corporate structures.

Intelligent Entity Resolution

Public Safety connects fragmented identity information across data sources to construct unified entity profiles. The system resolves variations in names, addresses, and identifiers that defeat simple matching algorithms, then traces ownership chains through corporate structures to reveal ultimate beneficial owners.

Fuzzy Matching with Confidence Scoring

Handles spelling variations, transliterations, aliases, and data entry errors

Cross-Source Correlation

Automatically connects entities appearing across transaction records and registries

Beneficial Ownership Mapping

Traces ownership chains through multiple corporate layers

PEP and Sanctions Integration

Continuous screening against global sanctions lists with intelligent name matching

What would take days of manual research, identifying the human beings controlling a shell company network, happens in seconds. Investigators see the complete ownership picture before deciding how to proceed.

Stage 3

See the Connections Others Miss

The Challenge

The suspicious transaction you're investigating may be one node in a much larger network. Criminals structure their operations to appear as unrelated transactions across multiple institutions and jurisdictions. Traditional transaction monitoring evaluates each transfer in isolation, missing the coordinated pattern.

Graph-Based Network Intelligence

Public Safety builds dynamic relationship graphs connecting entities, accounts, transactions, and external data. Investigators see not just individual suspicious transactions, but the complete network of relationships that reveals coordinated criminal activity.

Dynamic Network Graphs

Visualize relationships between entities, accounts, and transactions with interactive exploration

Pattern Recognition

Identify structures consistent with known laundering typologies

Temporal Analysis

See how relationships and transaction patterns evolve over time

Money Flow Mapping

Trace funds from origin through intermediate accounts to final destination

Investigators uncover the full scope of criminal networks, not just isolated suspicious transactions. A single flagged wire transfer becomes the thread that unravels a multi-jurisdictional money laundering operation.

Wire transfer to Exchange A

The Challenge

The target converted funds to cryptocurrency at an exchange, then moved assets through multiple wallets, a mixer service, and cross-chain bridges. Traditional financial investigation tools have no visibility into blockchain activity. Standalone crypto analytics tools don't connect to your broader investigation.

Integrated Blockchain Intelligence

Public Safety provides native cryptocurrency investigation capabilities integrated with traditional financial analysis. Investigators follow fund flows seamlessly from bank accounts through crypto exchanges into on-chain activity, and back to fiat off-ramps.

Multi-Chain Tracing

Track transactions across major blockchains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins

Wallet Clustering

Identify wallets controlled by the same entity through behavioral analysis

Mixer & Bridge Detection

Flag when funds pass through mixing services or cross-chain bridges

Address Risk Scoring

Assess wallet addresses against known threat indicators

Cryptocurrency no longer creates an investigative dead end. Analysts follow the complete financial trail regardless of whether value moves through traditional banking channels or blockchain networks.

Stage 5

Investigate Across Jurisdictions

The Challenge

Your investigation has uncovered a network spanning fourteen countries. The shell companies are registered in Delaware and the British Virgin Islands. The beneficial owner holds citizenship in three countries. Wire transfers routed through correspondent banks in Singapore, London, and Dubai. Coordinating across jurisdictions typically takes months and often fails entirely.

Multi-Jurisdictional Investigation Support

Public Safety provides tools for managing complex cross-border investigations, tracking requests to foreign authorities, managing evidence across different legal frameworks, and maintaining investigation timelines that account for varying response times.

Jurisdiction Mapping

Automatically identify all jurisdictions touched by an investigation

Regulatory Framework Reference

Quick access to relevant AML regulations and MLAT status

Request Tracking

Manage outbound requests to foreign authorities with status tracking

Multi-Language Support

Document processing across multiple languages and character sets

Cross-border investigations that would typically stall for months proceed efficiently. Investigators have visibility into all jurisdictional touchpoints and can proactively address coordination challenges.
