How Did the Hawk AML Investigative Agent Perform?

Alviere wanted to determine if Hawk’s AML Investigative Agent could match analyst-level accuracy. They tested the Hawk Agent against historical alerts, comparing its output to decisions that analysts had already reached on the same cases.

The Results in Summary:

  • Hawk’s AML Investigative Agent correctly escalated every confirmed true positive, ensuring genuine risks were not overlooked by the Agent

  • The Investigative Agent also closed 98% of the alerts that human analysts had identified as false positives

  • More significantly, it flagged a number of additional potentially suspicious alerts

What Hawk Delivered:

  • Deployment Across Business Lines: Alviere deployed Hawk’s AML Investigative Agent across four business lines. The workflow was configured around Alviere’s existing AML policies and procedures, so the Agent followed the same investigative process.

  • Consistent Investigative Workflow: The Agent applied a consistent process to every alert: read the alert, gather customer information, assess the source of funds and whether the activity was consistent with the customer’s profile, and investigate counterparties – going as deep as required.

  • Business-Context Configuration: The same investigative process was applied to each alert, with business-specific context added to the red-flag investigation stage. This gave the Agent an understanding of normal activity for each business line.

  • Network Graph Validation: The Agent used network analysis to trace the flow of funds and identify connections between accounts and transactions. This helped the Alviere analysts identify potential risk patterns, including circular transfers, hub-and-spoke activity, and shared addresses or employers.
