Escalating with full context to a fraud specialist
Every artifact, decision, and policy citation travels with the case. The specialist starts where the agents stopped — the customer never repeats themselves.
Card remains in the customer's possession while the authorization carries an unknown device fingerprint and a Frankfurt, DE origin. The $420.00 provisional credit exceeds the AI auto-approval ceiling of $250, so a licensed fraud specialist must authorise funds movement. This is a designed control, not an agent failure.
