Disposition
The activity is explained by the customer's documented profile and no further action is recommended. The alert is closed as a false positive. This determination was produced by heelius-investigator-4.2 · policy-pack us-bsa-2026.08 with a calibrated confidence of 97% and is subject to the institution's quality-assurance sampling programme.
Disposition reversed to RFI. Corridor growth is explained, but the agent under-weighted the absence of originator data on the aggregated pool. Retraining sample.
