LexisNexis — Applied AI

Making fraud-model workflows recoverable and reviewable.

During my placement I built a working demo for fraud-model optimisation. I was retained as an AI engineering contractor to develop the capital-funded internal pilot toward production.

Human-reviewed workflows
Notebook → recoverable workflow → human review. Conceptual summary, not an internal architecture diagram.

01The context

Fraud-model optimisation combines analysis, modelling and decisions that need accountable human review.

02My contribution

Initiated a working agentic prototype during my placement, then stayed on as a contractor to develop the funded internal pilot.

03The approach

  • Custom Python orchestration and reusable Copilot skills coordinate work with persistent SQLite state.
  • Audit trails and mandatory review gates keep human judgement in the workflow.
  • DVC and Papermill make notebook-based work recoverable; LightGBM discovers candidate rules, with constrained logistic regression for policy weighting.

04Evidence & limitations

  • Working demo delivered to the AI engineering team by the end of the placement.
  • Retained as an AI engineering contractor in August 2026 to develop a capital-funded internal pilot.
  • Two fraud-model optimisations completed during the earlier placement.

The boundaries of this account

Employer-confidential work: no source code, transaction data or internal evaluation results are published.

This describes a pilot building toward production, not a launched production platform.

Descriptions are owner-supplied; no independently verified performance uplift is claimed.
