+# Real-Time Payment Anomaly Detection
+
+This module provides a streaming analytics engine with unsupervised ML (KMeans) for real-time fraud detection in payment systems. It includes:
+- Streaming transaction ingestion
+- Unsupervised anomaly detection
+- Automated defense actions
+- Modular dashboard UI
+
+## Usage
+Open `fraud-dashboard.html` in your browser and click "Start Monitoring" to view real-time alerts and defense actions.
+
+## Files
+- fraud-ml-engine.js
+- fraud-stream-connector.js
+- fraud-defense-actions.js
+- fraud-dashboard.js
+- fraud-dashboard.html
+- fraud-dashboard.css
+- fraud-utils.js
