The typology processor collects rule results and compiles the rule results into a variety of fraud and money laundering scenarios, called typologies. Unlike rule processors that have specific and unique functions guided by their individual configurations, the typology processor is a centralized processor that arranges rules into scenarios based on multiple typology configurations. Effectively, a typology is described solely by its configuration and does not otherwise exist as a physical processor. When the typology processor receives a rule result, it determines which typologies rely on the result and the various typology configurations are used to formulate the individual scenarios.

A typology processor configuration contains three major elements. It defines the weighting with which rule results contribute to the typology score, the formula used to compose all of the weighted rule results into the typology score and then the document typically contains the following information:

• Typology configuration metadata

• A rules object, that specifies the weighting for each rule result by sub-rule reference

• An expression object, that defines the formula for calculating the typology score out of the rule result weightings

• A workflow object, that contains the alert and interdiction thresholds against which the typology score will be measured
