Manifest Lab · voyage two · a fraud-detection workbench

One in a hundred is a thief. Find them without accusing the rest.

A month of card transactions, a handful of them stolen. You are the fraud desk. Last voyage you learned to build models; this time you learn what to do when the thing you're hunting is rare, expensive to miss, and expensive to get wrong — which is most of the interesting problems in the world.

Before you start: in this problem, being right 99% of the time can mean you caught nothing. Every stage on this page is built around that one uncomfortable fact.
