AML Detection Gate Optimization: Constrained Loss Minimization for Anti-Money Laundering

Formalizing gate strength as a continuous control variable to minimize the combined cost of false positives, missed detections, and investigation delay in AML compliance pipelines

AML programs face a costly tradeoff between false positives, missed detections, and investigation delay. This paper formalizes AML detection as constrained loss minimization over gate strength `g` and treats the benchmark numbers as synthetic scenario outputs, not as universal regulatory thresholds or turnkey compliance claims. The practical value of the article is in the control framework, escalation logic, and risk-based calibration structure.

Auditable Financial Decision Traceability: Evidence Graph Models for Regulatory Compliance

Formal evidence graph construction and matrix-algebraic traceability for reconstructing every financial decision under SOX, Basel III, and MiFID II

Regulatory reconstruction of AI-driven financial decisions is difficult when logs are fragmented, timestamps drift, or causal links are missing. This paper introduces a formal evidence-graph model where each decision is an immutable node in a directed acyclic graph, linked by typed causal edges with cryptographic evidence bundles. We define `TraceCompleteness` as `TC = |reproducible decisions| / |total decisions|` and report `TC >= 0.997` across evaluated SOX, Basel III, and MiFID II audit scenarios.
