## Patterns

### 1. Amazon Fraud Detector

```python
import boto3
import json

fraud_detector = boto3.client("frauddetector")

def setup_fraud_model(detector_name: str, event_type: str):
    """Set up a fraud detection model for transaction scoring.

    Fraud Detector uses AutoML -- provide labeled historical data and it
    trains a model automatically.
    """
    # Create event type (defines what data your fraud events contain)
    fraud_detector.put_event_type(
        name=event_type,
        eventVariables=[
            {"name": "ip_address"},
            {"name": "email_address"},
            {"name": "transaction_amount"},
            {"name": "card_bin"},
            {"name": "customer_age_days"},
        ],
        labels=[{"name": "fraud"}, {"name": "legit"}],
        entityTypes=[{"name": "customer"}],
    )

    # Create detector
    fraud_detector.put_detector(
        detectorId=detector_name,
        eventTypeName=event_type,
    )


def score_transaction(detector_id: str, detector_version: str, transaction: dict) -> dict:
    """Score a transaction for fraud risk in real-time.

    Args:
        detector_id: Fraud Detector detector ID
        detector_version: Detector version
        transaction: Transaction data matching event variables
    """
    response = fraud_detector.get_event_prediction(
        detectorId=detector_id,
        detectorVersionId=detector_version,
        eventId=transaction["transaction_id"],
        eventTypeName="online_transaction",
        entities=[{"entityType": "customer", "entityId": transaction["customer_id"]}],
        eventTimestamp=transaction["timestamp"],
        eventVariables={
            "ip_address": transaction["ip_address"],
            "email_address": transaction["email"],
            "transaction_amount": str(transaction["amount"]),
            "card_bin": transaction.get("card_bin", ""),
            "customer_age_days": str(transaction.get("account_age_days", 0)),
        },
    )

    # Get outcome and score
    rule_results = response.get("ruleResults", [])
    model_scores = response.get("modelScores", [])

    outcome = rule_results[0]["outcomes"][0] if rule_results else "review"
    score = model_scores[0]["scores"].get("fraud_score", 0) if model_scores else 0

    return {
        "transaction_id": transaction["transaction_id"],
        "fraud_score": score,
        "outcome": outcome,  # approve, review, block
        "rule_triggered": rule_results[0].get("ruleId") if rule_results else None,
    }
```

### 2. Amazon Textract for KYC Documents

```python
import boto3

textract = boto3.client("textract")

def extract_id_document(s3_bucket: str, s3_key: str) -> dict:
    """Extract data from an identity document (passport, driver's license).

    """
    response = textract.analyze_id(
        DocumentPages=[{
            "S3Object": {"Bucket": s3_bucket, "Name": s3_key}
        }]
    )

    extracted = {}
    for doc in response.get("IdentityDocuments", []):
        for field in doc.get("IdentityDocumentFields", []):
            field_type = field.get("Type", {}).get("Text", "")
            field_value = field.get("ValueDetection", {}).get("Text", "")
            confidence = field.get("ValueDetection", {}).get("Confidence", 0)
            extracted[field_type] = {"value": field_value, "confidence": confidence}

    return extracted


def extract_bank_statement(s3_bucket: str, s3_key: str) -> dict:
    """Extract tables and key-value pairs from a bank statement.

    Uses Textract's Lending API for financial document analysis.
    """

    key_values = {}
    tables = []

    for block in response.get("Blocks", []):
        if block["BlockType"] == "KEY_VALUE_SET" and "KEY" in block.get("EntityTypes", []):
            key = _get_text_from_block(block, response["Blocks"])
            value_block = _find_value_block(block, response["Blocks"])
            if value_block:
                value = _get_text_from_block(value_block, response["Blocks"])
                key_values[key] = value

    return {"key_values": key_values, "table_count": len(tables)}


def extract_lending_document(s3_bucket: str, s3_key: str) -> str:
    """Process lending documents (1003, 1099, W2, pay stubs) using Textract Lending.

    Starts an async job for multi-page lending document analysis.

    response = textract.start_lending_analysis(
        DocumentLocation={"S3Object": {"Bucket": s3_bucket, "Name": s3_key}},
    )
    return response["JobId"]
```

### 3. AWS Clean Rooms for Data Collaboration

```python
import boto3

cleanrooms = boto3.client("cleanrooms")

def create_collaboration(name: str, members: list[dict]) -> dict:
    """Create a Clean Rooms collaboration for cross-institution fraud analysis.

    Allows multiple banks to query shared fraud signals without exposing
    raw customer data.

    Args:
        name: Collaboration name
        members: List of member configs with account IDs and roles
    """
    response = cleanrooms.create_collaboration(
        name=name,
        description="Cross-institution fraud signal sharing",
        creatorMemberAbilities=["CAN_QUERY", "CAN_RECEIVE_RESULTS"],
        creatorDisplayName="Bank A",
        members=[{
            "accountId": m["account_id"],
            "memberAbilities": m.get("abilities", ["CAN_QUERY"]),
            "displayName": m["name"],
        } for m in members],
        queryLogStatus="ENABLED",  # Required for compliance audit trail
    )
    return response["collaboration"]


def run_fraud_analysis_query(membership_id: str) -> dict:
    """Run a privacy-safe query to identify shared fraud indicators.

    Example: Find transaction patterns that appear across multiple
    institutions without revealing customer identities.
    """
    response = cleanrooms.start_protected_query(
        type="SQL",
        membershipIdentifier=membership_id,
        sqlParameters={
            "queryString": """
                SELECT
                    ip_address_hash,

            }
        },
    )
    return response["protectedQuery"]
```

### 4. Amazon Comprehend for Financial NLP

```python
import boto3

comprehend = boto3.client("comprehend")

def redact_pii_from_text(text: str) -> str:
    """Detect and redact PII from financial text before sending to LLMs.

    Args:
        text: Raw text that may contain PII
    """
    response = comprehend.detect_pii_entities(
        Text=text,
        LanguageCode="en",
    )

    redacted = text
    # Process entities in reverse order to preserve positions
    for entity in sorted(response["Entities"], key=lambda e: e["BeginOffset"], reverse=True):
        start = entity["BeginOffset"]
        end = entity["EndOffset"]
        pii_type = entity["Type"]  # SSN, CREDIT_DEBIT_NUMBER, BANK_ACCOUNT_NUMBER, etc.
        redacted = redacted[:start] + f"[{pii_type}]" + redacted[end:]

    return redacted


def analyze_financial_sentiment(text: str) -> dict:
    """Analyze sentiment of financial communications (earnings calls, reports).

    Args:
        text: Financial text to analyze
    """
    response = comprehend.detect_sentiment(Text=text, LanguageCode="en")
    return {
        "sentiment": response["Sentiment"],
        "scores": response["SentimentScore"],
    }
```

### 5. Agent Tool Integration

```python
def check_fraud_risk(transaction_id: str, amount: float, ip_address: str, email: str) -> str:
    """Check fraud risk for a transaction using Amazon Fraud Detector.

    Args:
        transaction_id: Unique transaction identifier
        amount: Transaction amount
        ip_address: Customer's IP address
        email: Customer's email address
    """
    result = score_transaction(
        detector_id="payment-fraud-detector",
        detector_version="1",
        transaction={
            "transaction_id": transaction_id,
            "customer_id": "derived-from-email",
            "timestamp": "2026-02-28T12:00:00Z",
            "ip_address": ip_address,
            "email": email,
            "amount": amount,
        },
    )

    score = result["fraud_score"]
    outcome = result["outcome"]

    if outcome == "block":
        return f"BLOCKED: Transaction {transaction_id} scored {score:.0f}/1000. High fraud risk detected. Transaction declined."
    elif outcome == "review":
        return f"REVIEW: Transaction {transaction_id} scored {score:.0f}/1000. Requires manual review before approval."
    else:
        return f"APPROVED: Transaction {transaction_id} scored {score:.0f}/1000. Low risk."


def process_kyc_document(s3_bucket: str, document_key: str, document_type: str) -> str:
    """Process a KYC document (ID, bank statement) using Amazon Textract.

    Args:
        s3_bucket: S3 bucket with the uploaded document
        document_key: S3 key for the document
        document_type: Type: 'id_document', 'bank_statement', 'lending'
    """
    if document_type == "id_document":
        data = extract_id_document(s3_bucket, document_key)
        fields = [f"  {k}: {v['value']} (confidence: {v['confidence']:.1f}%)" for k, v in data.items()]
        return f"ID Document extracted:\n" + "\n".join(fields)
    elif document_type == "bank_statement":
        data = extract_bank_statement(s3_bucket, document_key)
        return f"Bank statement extracted: {len(data['key_values'])} fields, {data['table_count']} tables found."
    else:
        job_id = extract_lending_document(s3_bucket, document_key)
        return f"Lending document analysis started. Job ID: {job_id}. Check status with Textract API."
```

## Anti-Patterns

- Using Fraud Detector without sufficient labeled training data (< 10K events) -- model quality suffers
- Sending raw PII to Bedrock/external LLMs without Comprehend PII redaction -- compliance violation
- Running Textract synchronously on large documents -- use async APIs for multi-page documents
- Not enabling query logging in Clean Rooms -- audit trail required for regulatory compliance
- Hardcoding fraud thresholds -- use Fraud Detector's rules engine for adjustable decisioning
