tasks/financial_request.py β€” Task 3: Financial Fraud Detection (Epistemic RL v2.0)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Design Principles:
- Destination, beneficiary history, and account metadata are HIDDEN until INVESTIGATE
- Same transfer characteristics β†’ can be legitimate or fraud depending on hidden state
- A blind "approve" on a fraudulent transfer in high-ambiguity state β†’ 0.01 (reckless)
- INVESTIGATE reveals: account age, verification status, risk signals
- 10 scenarios: 5 high-ambiguity, 3 medium, 2 clear
