HAREFin

Every transaction. Every investigation. Every boundary. Proof.

HAREFin is designed to provide runtime governance for financial AI—intended to support hard fences on money movement, evidence trails for SAR filings, and cross-border data sovereignty.

Sector Disclaimer: Vertical examples illustrate intended application domains. Sector-specific compliance requires independent legal and technical validation.

The Challenge

Financial AI Needs Absolute Boundaries

AML investigators want AI to help analyze patterns and draft SARs. But regulators need proof that AI never made decisions about money movement, account status, or case closure.

The Risk

  • AI with access to transaction systems
  • No technical barrier to AI initiating transfers
  • SAR narratives without evidence of AI role
  • Cross-border data flows violating sovereignty
  • Regulators asking "Did AI make this decision?"

What HARE Provides

  • Hard fences: AI cannot modify transaction amounts
  • AI cannot change account status—ever
  • SAR drafting with evidence of human approval
  • EU customer data stays in EU—enforced at runtime
  • Proof of what AI did and didn't do

Hard Fences

What AI Can Never Do

These are not policy settings. These are architectural constraints enforced by the Arbiter. No bypass path exists.

X

Move Money

AI cannot modify /txn/amount, /txn/status, or initiate any transfer operation. The Arbiter will DENY with audit trail.

X

Change Account Status

AI cannot freeze, close, or modify account status. Human operators only, through separate controlled paths.

X

Close Investigations

AI cannot mark alerts as "closed" or "no SAR required." Disposition decisions require human EXECUTE with dual control.

X

Submit SARs

AI can draft SAR narratives in PLAN/EVAL mode. Final submission requires human approval with PoA evidence.

AML Workflow

Alert Investigation to SAR Filing

1

Transaction Monitoring

Transactions ingested as Capsules. Legacy AML rules fire. AI (EVAL mode) scans for patterns across customer history.

Alert Creation
2

Investigator Review (PLAN)

Investigator opens alert. AI summarizes: entities, transactions, risk factors, prior SARs. Read-only—no state changes.

PLAN mode
3

SAR Draft (EVAL)

Investigator prompts AI: "Draft SAR narrative explaining structuring behavior." AI produces draft with proposed fields.

EVALUATE mode
4

Validation Gate

Validation checks: narrative references real transactions only, no hallucinated account numbers, amounts match ground truth.

Ground Truth Check
5

Human Commit (EXECUTE)

Investigator commits SAR draft. Manager reviews and approves. Both approvals captured in PoA. Status: SAR_SUBMITTED.

Dual Control

Capabilities

What HAREFin Provides

01

KYC Profile Governance

Customer KYC as Capsules with risk scores, document references, consent flags. AI can summarize; AI cannot change risk ratings without human approval.

02

Transaction Capsules

Every transaction or batch as a governed Capsule. Derived features (velocity, geo anomalies) computed and stored. Full lineage.

03

Alert Investigation

Alerts as Capsules linking customers and transactions. AI assists with pattern analysis. Disposition always requires human EXECUTE.

04

SAR Evidence Trail

Every SAR has full evidence: which transactions, which AI analysis, who drafted, who approved. Regulatory-ready audit bundle.

05

Cross-Border Sovereignty

EU customer data stays in EU. Singapore data stays in Singapore. Jurisdiction routing enforced by Arbiter—not by policy document.

06

7-Year Retention

AML records retained for regulatory windows. Can't be deleted early. Revocation only for corrections, with full lineage preserved.

Regulatory Alignment

Compliance Mapping

Regulation Requirement HARE Mechanism
BSA/AML SAR filing, record keeping Evidence-backed SAR workflow, 7-year retention
FATF Risk-based approach Risk scoring with evidence trail
GDPR Data sovereignty, consent Jurisdiction routing, consent enforcement
MiFID II Transaction reporting Transaction Capsules with full lineage
SOX Internal controls Segregation of duties, dual control evidence

Use Cases

Where HAREFin Applies

A

AML Investigation

AI-assisted alert triage and SAR drafting. Pattern detection across customer history. Human-only disposition decisions.

B

KYC Refresh

AI summarizes customer profile changes, flags risk factors. Risk rating changes require human approval with evidence.

C

Regulatory Reporting

AI assists with report preparation. Every data point traceable to source transaction Capsules. Audit-ready from day one.
