## Overview

Participation in an on-chain fraud investigation, following transfers from an initial transaction into a network of addresses and probable service hubs.

## The business challenge

Reconstruct a value flow and make the reasoning inspectable without confusing wallet behaviour with proven identity.

## The connected solution

Group transactions by time, amount and counterpart; map the paths of value; distinguish observed transfers from hypotheses about services. Package the findings into a structured summary that other analysts can retrace against the public ledger.

## The workflow

1. Start with a transaction
2. Map the transfers
3. Review patterns & hypotheses
4. Structure the evidence

The workflow is an illustration. Project scope and limitations are described below.

## Scope and disclosure

The diagram uses synthetic nodes and flows. Service attribution requires corroboration. The accompanying article reflects participation in a case, without publishing identities, wallet records or a claimed recovery outcome.
