Evaluation guide
Build a Transaction Alert Review Workflow
Map the transaction rules, investigation queue, and review evidence your team needs to operate a monitoring workflow.
Prepared by CirclesCheck · Updated . Product evaluation guidance; independent regulatory review is not claimed.
Define a reviewable rule
Start from the transaction pattern your team needs to investigate. Document the fields, threshold, rationale, and expected review action for each rule.
Separate customer and transaction monitoring
Customer monitoring re-screens customer identifiers against screening sources. Transaction monitoring evaluates activity patterns. Model both workflows and their inputs separately.
Assign the follow-up
Define who reviews an alert, what additional information they compare, and how they escalate or close it. Give unresolved alerts an owner.
Test before expanding
Use controlled fixtures to check expected alerts and non-alerts. Review how the integration handles duplicate events, failed requests, and incomplete customer links.
Retain decisions and reassess rules
Save the evidence and reason for review decisions. Revisit thresholds using actual workload and the guidance that applies to your organization.
Evaluate the workflow
Use your organization's policy and applicable official guidance to decide the controls you need. This article describes a product evaluation workflow, rather than a regulatory determination.
