Solutions · Fraud detection

Keep fraud features consistent from investigation to live decisions.

Define customer, transaction, merchant, device, and account features once and execute the same dependency graph across historical analysis and request-time scoring.

The fraud feature problem

Fraud models iterate faster than almost any other decision system — new patterns, new features, constant retraining. That speed is exactly what makes duplicated implementations dangerous: when investigation notebooks, training pipelines, and the live scoring service each hold their own version of a feature, every iteration widens the gap between what analysts studied and what production computes.

Typical source contexts

Fraud features draw on several structured contexts around the event being scored — conceptually, not as packaged integrations:

source

Transaction data

The event itself: amount, channel, counterparty, timing.

source

Customer context

History and behavior of the account holder.

source

Merchant data

Category, history, and risk context of the counterparty.

source

Device signals

Device and session attributes available at request time.

source

Account context

Age, standing, and prior decisions on the account.

One dependency graph for fraud logic

Source features read each report; behavioral and dependent features build on them. The registry defines the graph once, and the platform resolves it identically in every execution path.

Historical reconstruction

Investigations and model development need history computed the way production would have computed it. Materializing the same DAG over landed source history gives analysts feature values that match live semantics — not a parallel batch approximation that behaves differently around edge cases.

Request-time computation

Online execution is request-triggered: the current transaction context enters the execution path, and the runtime computes the requested feature groups through the same versioned code, resolving dependencies in the same order as historical runs.

Why the operational difference matters

When a fraud model behaves unexpectedly, teams with duplicated feature stacks first have to rule out implementation drift before they can reason about the model. With one implementation, that whole diagnostic branch disappears: what the model saw in training is what it sees now, by construction. Iteration gets faster precisely because there is less to keep consistent.

Fits your existing fraud stack

ClearFeature computes feature vectors; your fraud models, rules engines, and case-management systems stay where they are. The platform slots between your source contexts and the models that consume them.
