Fraud prevention, risk operations & compliance consulting for SaaS companies and ISVs scaling embedded payment programs.
Founded by operators who built and scaled fraud, risk, and payments functions inside hypergrowth SaaS and embedded payments businesses.
When you embed payments into your software, you inherit fraud and compliance liability for every transaction your merchants run. Most ISVs don't have the in-house risk function to manage it.
Operating a marketplace means managing fraud risk at scale, across hundreds or thousands of sellers. A single bad actor can trigger processor account reviews and damage your entire portfolio standing.
Scaling revenue often breaks default payment configurations.
If risk flags trigger, processors can pause payouts fast. We align your risk logic with processor risk models to keep cash flowing.
Thousands of small authorizations from bots trigger risk flags and drive up processing costs ($0.30/attempt adds up fast).
Onboarding the wrong merchant can create losses, processor scrutiny, and portfolio risk. We build defensible KYC and underwriting flows that catch problems before they scale.
Deep dive into your payment stack. We map out leaks, high-risk vectors, and friction points in your user journey.
We deploy custom fraud rules across your payment stack, monitoring dashboards, and dispute defense SOPs.
We stay embedded with your team — managing incidents, processor relationships, and risk as volume scales.
We architect custom fraud logic that blocks attacks without killing conversion. Processor-agnostic expertise across Stripe Radar, Adyen RevenueProtect, Checkout.com Risk, and custom internal tooling.
For marketplaces and platforms, we build monitoring logic that tracks sub-merchant health across your portfolio and flags risk before it becomes liability.
Without documented protocols, every fraud incident becomes improvised. We build clear operating playbooks for incident response, disputes, and decisioning so your team can move quickly without making risk worse.
Embedding payments triggers real regulatory obligations. We build the compliance infrastructure — policies, frameworks, and documentation — so you stay audit-ready and processor-approved as you scale.
Representative examples based on real operator work. Company details have been anonymized.
A Series C EdTech platform came to us after a $200,000 fraud event and rising processor pressure.
They had 15,000+ sub-merchants processing tuition payments through their platform and hadn't properly KYC'd a single one. Fraudulent sub-merchants slipped through onboarding, ran chargebacks the platform was fully liable for, and triggered a processor flag for chargeback ratio violations. They had no internal risk function. No playbook. No one who owned it.
In 30 days, we built one.
We deployed a full sub-merchant underwriting framework, designed the KYC flow their onboarding team now runs on every new sub-merchant, and stood up a real-time risk monitoring dashboard their ops team uses daily. We trained their internal team on dispute response and chargeback defense and stayed on as their fractional Head of Risk to own incidents, processor relationships, and ongoing monitoring.
The chargeback flag was cleared. The losses stopped. They now have the infrastructure to scale without repeating it.
