Each example below is a full watch script you can drop into your rules directory. These examples trigger on a single comparison or a simple list check. They are useful when you want a rule to react to one clear signal without needing historical context.

Block black listed accounts

This rule blocks a transaction when the source account appears in a blacklist supplied on the current transaction. It works well when your application already maintains a denylist and passes it into Watch as metadata.
BlockBlackListedAccounts.ws
rule BlockBlackListedAccounts {
  description "Blocks transactions from accounts on an internal blacklist."

  when source in $current.metadata.blacklisted_accounts

  then block
       score   1.0
       reason  "Source account is on the blacklist"
}

Category BTC check

This rule sends cryptocurrency-tagged activity to review. It is a lightweight pattern for routing a known transaction category into a tighter manual workflow.
CategoryBTCCheck.ws
rule CategoryBTCCheck {
  description "Cryptocurrency transactions require manual verification."

  when metadata.category == "cryptocurrency"

  then review
       score   0.6
       reason  "Transaction category is cryptocurrency"
}

High risk destination country

This rule blocks transactions headed to countries that your system has already marked as high risk. It keeps the country list outside the DSL so you can update it without rewriting the rule.
HighRiskDestinationCountry.ws
rule HighRiskDestinationCountry {
  description "Blocks transactions headed to a high-risk destination country."

  when metadata.destination_country in $current.metadata.high_risk_countries

  then block
       score   0.5
       reason  "Destination country is classified as high risk"
}

High value transaction check

This rule reviews any transaction above a fixed value threshold. It is a good baseline control for catching unusually large transactions before you layer on more specific checks.
HighValueTransactionCheck.ws
rule HighValueTransactionCheck {
  description "Monitors for unusually large transactions requiring review."

  when amount > 10000

  then review
       score   0.5
       reason  "Transaction amount exceeds 10,000"
}

Known fraud entity check

This rule blocks transactions sent to known bad counterparties that are provided on the current transaction. It is useful when your fraud system or case-management tooling already maintains a live list of risky entities.
KnownFraudEntityCheck.ws
rule KnownFraudEntityCheck {
  description "Blocks transactions sent to known fraud entities."

  when destination in $current.metadata.known_fraud_entities

  then block
       score   1.0
       reason  "Destination is on the known fraud entities list"
}

Sanctioned country check

This rule blocks transactions going to countries that appear on a sanctions list supplied in metadata. It is a direct pattern for policy-driven controls where the list itself changes more often than the rule logic.
SanctionedCountryCheck.ws
rule SanctionedCountryCheck {
  description "Blocks transactions sent to sanctioned countries."

  when metadata.destination_country in $current.metadata.sanctioned_countries

  then block
       score   1.0
       reason  "Destination country is on the sanctions list"
}

Suspicious MCC check

This rule reviews transactions whose merchant category code falls inside a known high-risk list. It is useful for fast controls around gambling, quasi-cash, or other categories that deserve extra scrutiny.
SuspiciousMCCCheck.ws
rule SuspiciousMCCCheck {
  description "Flags transactions with high-risk merchant category codes."

  when metadata.mcc in ("7995", "5912")

  then review
       score   0.5
       reason  "Transaction involves a high-risk merchant category code"
}
