## MuleNet: AI/ML Classification of Suspicious Mule Accounts
*   **Goal:** Detect financial fraud by identifying the 'lifestyle gap' in transaction behavior.
*   **Key Concept:** Counterfactual Fraud Investigator (CFI) reconstructs what a genuine financial life should look like versus the observed mule behavior.

## The Pulse of the Problem
*   **Annual Loss:** ₹1.3T+ lost to mule fraud.
*   **Detection Gap:** Traditional systems miss over 60% of mule accounts.
*   **Mule Signals:** Bulk inward transfers and rapid outward movement with zero lifestyle spending (no groceries, bills, or ATM usage).

## Technical Architecture
*   **Module 1-2:** Raw data processing involving 3,780 features engineered down to 25 high-signal indicators (Velocity, Diversity, Stability).
*   **Module 3:** Persona Engine uses KMeans/GMM clustering to categorize users (Salaried, Student, Business, Retired).
*   **Module 4-5:** Humanity Score Generator calculates the ratio of observed behavior vs. expected behavior for a given persona.

## Machine Learning Stack
*   **Ensemble Model:** Triple-layer stack featuring XGBoost, Random Forest, and LightGBM.
*   **Interpretable AI:** Combines a Fraud Probability Score with a 'Humanity Score' for explainability.
*   **LLM Investigator:** Uses GPT-4/Gemini to translate technical scores into narrative investigation summaries for analysts.

## The Edge
*   Moves beyond 'black box' predictions by providing account profiling, persona-based counterfactuals, and automated SAR filing recommendations.
