01

What this worksheet helps you do

This template is structured. The working copy is being finalized by our subject-matter editors — directionally accurate today, refined shortly.

  • Force a typology hypothesis before evidence-gathering, so the analyst is testing a claim instead of pattern-matching.
  • Separate "what I observed" from "what I concluded" — the worksheet has distinct fields for each.
  • Document disposition reasoning so a future reviewer can follow the same path without you in the room.

02

When to use it

  • Triaging any alert that escalates above auto-disposition thresholds.
  • Re-opening a closed alert when new transaction activity surfaces on the same customer.
