Patent-Pending RDS-HIVE Decision Orchestration

Traditional transaction screening systems rely on static rulesets or isolated AI models. RDS-HIVE separates transaction screening into governed decision stages: scope determination, signal interpretation, and validation, reconciled through structured consensus.

By separating detection, interpretation, and validation, RDS-HIVE reduces unnecessary escalation, lowers total transaction screening costs, and prevents alert storms common in legacy transaction filtering systems.

Deterministic Screening

Mandatory sanctions, jurisdiction, vessel, and identifier controls enforced through deterministic rules.

Probabilistic Interpretation

Contextual interpretation of free-text narratives and name similarity through probabilistic models.

Hive Mind Consensus

Independent decision proposals evaluated through structured consensus. Convergence increases confidence, divergence triggers escalation.

Policy-Bound Authorization

Final authorization remains governed by policy. No single model or rule engine holds sole authority.

Three Governed Decisions

Effective AML Payment Screening Requires Separation of Decisions

By isolating scope determination, signal interpretation, and validation, RDS-HIVE reduces defensive over-screening and unnecessary alert escalation common in legacy transaction filtering systems. This structured separation supports higher straight-through processing in instant and cross-border payment environments.

Real-Time Payment Screening

Millisecond execution across instant payment and cross-border payment networks.

<50msAverage Latency

Always-On Availability

Resilient infrastructure designed for continuous uptime across SWIFT payment screening and instant corridors.

Reduced False Positives

Context-aware interpretation reduces unnecessary alerts common in rule-only transaction screening systems.

Policy-Aligned Controls

Deterministic guardrails enforce sanctions and regulatory obligations at every decision stage.

100%Audit Coverage

Dual Control Built-In

Maker-checker separation ensures no single model or rule engine is authoritative.

Structured Consensus Architecture

The RDS-HIVE Consensus Model

Multiple independent evaluators assess each transaction in parallel: rule-based sanctions screening, name similarity analysis, narrative interpretation, and behavioral correlation. When evaluators converge, automation is permitted. When evaluators diverge, policy determines escalation. The RDS-HIVE consensus model reduces unnecessary payment holds while preserving regulatory rigor in cross-border and correspondent banking flows.

Governance-Grade Decision Records

Every decision includes timestamped evaluator outputs and a structured chain of evidence. Supports audit review, sponsor bank oversight, and supervisory examination. Also supports correspondent banking scrutiny and enterprise compliance governance.

Structured Narrative Parsing

Free-text fields are parsed to extract risk signals. The original raw message and canonical representation are both preserved.

Screening Match Records

Every match that contributed to the decision is recorded: list source, name variations, confidence scores, and jurisdiction indicators.

Audit-Ready Evidence

Complete chain of evidence exportable for any transaction. Every evaluator contribution, timestamp, and validation action is preserved.

Supervisory Ready: Supports audit-ready transaction screening with explainable AML screening records suitable for regulatory examination and sponsor bank reporting.

Governed Explainability

Explainability Without Sacrificing Control

Rule-only transaction filtering often over-screens under uncertainty. Black-box AI systems may reduce alerts but increase model risk exposure. RDS-HIVE separates inference from authority.

Deterministic rules enforce regulatory obligations
Probabilistic models inform context and interpretation
Policy governs final authorization at every stage
No single model is the sole source of truth

Architecture Principle: Inference and authority are separated by design. Probabilistic models inform, deterministic rules enforce, and policy governs. This strengthens real-time transaction monitoring without introducing black-box risk.
