Running pattern detector against the corpus
The dataset shows circular money flows between charities — reciprocal pairs, triangular cycles, and longer chains. Most loops are structurally normal; the signal is the deviation from norm.
Glassbox surfaces correlations and observations, not findings of misconduct. Severity is a calibrated read on how strongly the dataset matches the pattern definition — a starting point for review, not a verdict.
The match meets the pattern threshold but the signal is the lower band. Normal review queue.
The match exceeds the routine threshold. Worth a closer look — pull the source rows, walk the citation.
The match is in the highest band of the calibrated scale. Recommend: prioritise for active review.
Severity is computed from the detection signal · app.gift_loops: simple cycles ≤ 4 hops in the ≥ $5K qualified-donee gift graph, hop fiscal periods non-decreasing and the whole loop within 12 months, hubs (degree ≥ 50 or DAF/foundation/federated/diocese names) never interior; edge weight = gift ÷ donor's gifts that year; score = min edge weight × hops penalty (2:1.0, 3:0.8, 4:0.6); aggregated per BN, best loop ≥ 0.05 · fallback: cra.loop_universe score ≥ 12
The dataset shows THE PETERSON FOUNDATION (BN 870478310RR0001) participating in 1 time-ordered circular gift flow totalling $300,000; strongest loop (THE PETERSON FOUNDATION → THUNDER WOMAN HEALING LODGE SOCIETY) is 2 hops with score 0.17 — at least 17% of each donor's giving that year travelled around the loop; 1 of the loops originate at a hub (DAF / community foundation / federated body).
Why this may be benign · Donor-advised-fund platforms and gift-fund sponsors (e.g. Canada Gives, Aqueduct, Charitable Impact, Benefaction, Strategic Charitable Giving, Private Giving Foundation) are pass-through intermediaries; loops and high degree through them reflect donor instructions.
Once a match is identified, the dataset suggests these review actions. Glassbox does not prescribe outcomes — these are calibrated options for funders, auditors, and program officers, framed as correlations to investigate.
For each entity in the cycle, examine reciprocal gifts, board overlap, and program-vs-overhead ratios. The cycle may reflect denominational hierarchy or federated structure (normal) or reciprocal-revenue inflation (review-worthy).
Glassbox is not yet hard-coded with denominational hierarchy or federated-charity exclusion lists. Before flagging externally, confirm the loop is not an explainable structural pattern.
If the same entities also receive federal grants for similar program purposes, the loop becomes a duplicative-funding signal as well — see /follow/duplicative-funding once that detector ships.
If the loop persists across review cycles, escalate to the relevant audit body. If it resolves (entity exits, program ends, structure clarified), close with reasoning recorded.
These are calibrated suggestions, not directives. The dataset shows the pattern; the funder decides the response.
