AI Investigation

What appears to have happened

Mock AI output

The customer's account was opened several years ago with a Bulgarian registered address. Over the review period, the large majority of logins originated from Germany rather than Bulgaria, and this pattern appears consistent with recent months rather than a single trip. The customer's verified bank account and the majority of recent transactions are also German. The identity document on file is Bulgarian, and a previous reviewer accepted that same document as evidence of the customer's residential address. No proof-of-address document dated within the review period, or showing a German address, is recorded.

Previous Reviews

Case Management

One prior review closed with no action; login geography was not a factor at that time.

Control / Policy Check

Prototype policy · synthetic example
Requirement
Current residential address must be supported by qualifying recent proof of address.
Observed
A Bulgarian identity document was used as evidence for the customer's residential address.
Additional context
Recent behavioral evidence suggests that the customer may primarily reside in Germany.
Potential discrepancy
No recent German proof-of-address document is recorded.

Agent Conclusion

Mock AI output

POTENTIAL CONTROL FAILURE

Login, payment, and transaction evidence consistently point to the customer's primary residence being in Germany, while the address on file relies on a Bulgarian identity document with no recent, independent proof of address. This is consistent with the residential address control not having been satisfied on an ongoing basis.

Recommended action

Request an up-to-date proof-of-address document from the customer and re-verify the registered address before further account activity is approved.
