• Translate business requirements into user stories, acceptance criteria, and process flows; maintain a traceable requirements matrix (RTM) throughout the EPLC lifecycle.

• Review and validate EPLC planning deliverables (Business Requirements Documents, Concept of Operations, System Requirements Specifications) to ensure they accurately reflect HRSA’s fraud detection intent.

Fraud Domain SME Support

• Apply working knowledge of federal grant fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) patterns to inform model design decisions: improper payment types, duplicate entity schemes, inflated cost reports, and sub-awardee integrity risks across HRSA grant programs.

• Support the AI/ML Lead Engineer in defining supervised classification labels, anomaly detection thresholds, and SHAP feature interpretation from a business-rules perspective.

• Validate model outputs and HITL review queues against known FWA patterns; flag false-positive risks and provide business-logic guardrails to data science team.

• Contribute to the design of the Portfolio Risk Manager agent’s risk scoring logic and grantee-level threshold calibration; ensure scoring outputs are interpretable and defensible for HRSA investigators.

HITL Workflow Design Support

• Collaborate with the AI Agent / HITL Engineer to design analyst-facing review queues in UiPath Apps; define case prioritization logic, routing rules, and disposition workflow requirements.

• Document HRSA analyst workflow patterns and configure HITL interface requirements so that AI-generated risk flags are presented in context usable for real-world fraud investigations.
