You’re asking the right question now: not “more” but more precise. Let’s tighten what you already have.
- Refined global financial event schema (more precise)
Think in terms of types, constraints, and normalization.
Core fields (required)
-
event_id
- Type: string (UUID v4)
- Rule: globally unique, immutable.
-
event_type
- Type: enum
- Allowed:
- PURCHASE, DONATION, TRADE, PAYOUT, REFUND, ADJUSTMENT, FEE
-
timestamp_utc
- Type: ISO 8601 string in UTC
- Rule: no local time; always normalized to UTC.
-
actor_id
- Type: string
- Rule: must map to your Identity Engine; no raw emails/usernames here.
-
actor_role
- Type: enum
- Allowed: PLAYER, DONOR, STAFF, VENDOR, BENEFICIARY, SYSTEM
-
context
- Type: enum
- Allowed: GAMING, NONPROFIT, PLATFORM, DEV
-
amount_minor
- Type: integer
- Rule: store in minor units (e.g. cents) to avoid float errors.
-
currency
- Type: ISO 4217 code (e.g. USD, EUR).
-
payment_channel
- Type: enum
- Allowed: CARD, WALLET, CRYPTO, BANK, INTERNAL_BALANCE, OTHER
-
status
- Type: enum
- Allowed: PENDING, COMPLETED, BLOCKED, HELD, REVERSED, FAILED
Risk & environment fields
-
risk_score
- Type: integer (0–100)
- Rule: computed, not user‑supplied.
-
risk_level
- Type: enum
- Allowed: LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, CRITICAL
- Rule: derived from risk_score thresholds.
-
risk_flags
- Type: array of enums
- Examples: HIGHAMOUNT, NEWDEVICE, GEOMISMATCH, BEHAVIORANOMALY, ACCOUNTFUNNELING, DONATIONANOMALY.
-
ip_hash
- Type: string
- Rule: store a hash, not raw IP, if you want privacy‑aware analytics.
-
device_id
- Type: string (normalized internal ID for trusted devices).
-
geo_country
- Type: ISO 3166‑1 alpha‑2 (e.g. US, DE).
Linking & metadata
-
parenteventid
- Type: string or null
- Use: link refunds, reversals, adjustments to original events.
-
chain_id
- Type: string or null
- Use: group related events (e.g. donation → payout → fee).
-
metadata
- Type: JSON object
- Examples:
- Gaming: { "gameid": "...", "itemid": "...", "match_id": "..." }
- Nonprofit: { "campaignid": "...", "fundcode": "...", "program_id": "..." }
- More precise fraud/risk rules (with scoring)
Let’s move from vague “flags” to weighted signals.
Base scoring model
- Start with risk_score = 0.
- Each rule adds points.
- Map final score → risk_level.
Example thresholds:
- 0–24 → LOW
- 25–59 → MEDIUM
- 60–100 → HIGH
Universal rules (with weights)
-
HIGH_AMOUNT
- Condition: amount_minor > configured threshold for context.
- Score: +20
-
HIGH_VELOCITY
- Condition: N events in last X minutes > threshold for actorid or iphash.
- Score: +15
-
NEW_DEVICE
- Condition: first transaction from deviceid for this actorid.
- Score: +10
-
GEO_MISMATCH
- Condition: geo_country not in actor’s usual country set.
- Score: +15
-
SUSPICIOUSLOGINFLOW
- Condition: failed logins + password reset + new device + transaction within short window.
- Score: +25
Behavioral rules
-
BEHAVIOR_ANOMALY
- Condition: behavior model deviation above threshold (time, pattern, amount).
- Score: +20
-
PATTERN_BREAK
- Condition: first time actor uses a new payment_channel for high amount.
- Score: +10
Gaming‑specific rules
-
ITEMFLIPABUSE
- Condition: same item bought/sold repeatedly across accounts in short time.
- Score: +15
-
ACCOUNT_FUNNELING
- Condition: many small transfers from multiple actors to one target.
- Score: +25
-
MARKETPLACEPRICEANOMALY
- Condition: price far outside normal range for that item.
- Score: +10
Nonprofit‑specific rules
-
DONATION_ANOMALY
- Condition: large donation from new donor, high‑risk geo, or repeated just‑under‑threshold donations.
- Score: +20
-
VENDORFLOWANOMALY
- Condition: new vendor with large payouts or sudden spike vs baseline.
- Score: +20
-
BENEFICIARYFLOWSPIKE
- Condition: unusual spike in disbursements to one beneficiary or group.
- Score: +15
- More precise actions (deterministic)
Tie risk_level to clear actions:
-
LOW (0–24)
- Action: approve, log only.
-
MEDIUM (25–59)
- Action:
- step‑up auth (extra factor),
- notify user,
- maybe soft delay for review if pattern is new.
-
HIGH (60–100)
- Action:
- set status = "HELD" or BLOCKED,
- notify user + admin,
- require manual review.
You can later tune weights and thresholds based on false positives vs missed fraud, but this gives you a precise, deterministic starting point.
If you want, next I can:
- Turn this into a concrete JSON schema example, or
- Draft a risk engine pseudocode that takes an event and outputs riskscore + risklevel + risk_flags.
