A real-world example

Which accounts will move more than $100K in total or execute more than 30 cross-border wires next month?

Layered laundering uses two tactics: large aggregate volume (placement) and high-frequency small transfers (layering). AML systems look at each signal separately, missing accounts that split activity across both patterns. A compound prediction captures both tactics in one query.

How KumoRFM solves this

Graph-powered fraud intelligence

Kumo’s compound conditions combine multiple AML signals into a single prediction with OR logic. It captures both the placement pattern ($100K+ aggregate) and the layering pattern (30+ small transfers), catching accounts that split activity to stay below individual thresholds.
