You’re asking the right question now: not “more” but more precise. Let’s tighten what you already have.


  1. 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": "..." }

  1. 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

  1. 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.
