Fraud & Anomaly Detection

Catch what people can't see. Detection systems that rank the cases worth a human's time, from power theft on the grid to payment fraud and operational anomalies.

What it is

Fraud, theft and operational anomalies hide in volume. A distribution grid has hundreds of thousands of meters; a payments platform sees millions of transactions; a claims department handles more files than anyone can read closely. Humans are excellent at judging a case once it is in front of them. The hard part is choosing which cases to look at.

That is the job of a detection system. It scores every meter, transaction or claim, explains the score, and produces a short queue ranked by the likelihood that a human will find something. Investigators spend their time where it counts, and their findings make the next queue better.

How we approach it

We begin with your investigators, not the data. What does a confirmed case look like? What patterns do they already recognise? What makes them dismiss an alert as noise? That conversation shapes the features the model looks at, and it sets the false-positive budget: the number of alerts per week your team can actually work.

Then we build in two stages. Unsupervised models find patterns that do not fit, which works even when confirmed cases are rare. As your team reviews alerts and records the outcome, a supervised model learns from that feedback and takes over the ranking. Every alert carries an explanation, so the reason for a flag is never a black box.

What you get

A scoring system integrated with your case management or a lightweight queue we provide. Explanations on every alert. A feedback loop that turns investigation outcomes into a better model. Dashboards for hit rate, coverage and workload, and an audit trail that satisfies internal control and regulators.

What we deliver

What you get.

  • Case review and feature design with your investigators
  • A scoring model with an explanation attached to every alert
  • A prioritised queue that fits your existing investigation workflow
  • A feedback loop that learns from confirmed and dismissed cases
  • A false-positive budget agreed with you up front
  • Monitoring, audit trail and reporting for compliance

Use cases

Where it applies.

Non-technical losses in utilities

Meter tampering, bypasses and theft found in consumption patterns, ranked so field inspections pay off.

Payment and transaction fraud

Real-time scoring of transactions with explanations your risk team can act on.

Claims fraud

Insurance and warranty claims scored against patterns across claimants, providers and time.

Procurement anomalies

Unusual invoices, suppliers and approvals surfaced before payment runs.

Sensor and equipment anomalies

Readings that do not fit the pattern, flagged before they become failures.

Account takeover

Login and behaviour patterns that signal a compromised account.

HEDNO

Problem

The Greek distribution operator loses energy to theft and tampering across a network far larger than its field crews can inspect.

Outcome

An anomaly detection system on consumption data that ranks suspected non-technical losses, so inspections go where they are most likely to find something.

Questions

Things people ask us.

We have very few confirmed cases. Can this still work?

Yes. We start with unsupervised methods that find unusual patterns without labels, then use your investigators' feedback to train a supervised model over time. The system gets sharper with every case you close.

Will investigators understand why a case was flagged?

Every alert comes with the top factors behind its score in plain language. Investigators need reasons, not just numbers, and so do auditors.

How do you handle false positives?

We agree a budget with you: how many alerts per week your team can review. The model is tuned to that capacity, and the feedback loop keeps improving the hit rate.

What about compliance and audit?

Every score, explanation and decision is logged. Reports show what was flagged, what was investigated and what was found, for internal audit or regulators.
