Hire a Disputes & Fraud FTE

Chargeback & Fraud Officer

The disputes nobody had time to contest. For every chargeback the Disputes & Fraud FTE assembles the order, the delivery scan, the customer's history, the policy the customer agreed to and the correspondence into an evidence pack before the deadline, proposes whether to contest or accept, and submits on your approval. It watches your dispute ratio against the processor's thresholds and flags first-party fraud patterns — repeat claims, delivered-not-received clusters, refund-then-dispute — with the evidence, never as an accusation.

Accountable for

Every contestable dispute contested, with evidence, before the deadline

Judged on · Dollars recovered and dispute ratio

What it does not do · It does not submit a dispute response, refund a customer or block an account without your approval, and it does not label anyone a fraudster — it shows a pattern and a person decides.

  • Dispute Evidence Packs
  • Deadline Tracking
  • Contest-or-Accept Proposals
  • First-Party Fraud Patterns

How it works

A week with Disputes & Fraud.

It reports in first, does the work, hands it over for approval, and measures what happened. You review it the way you review a direct report.

  1. As disputes arrive01

    Evidence pack assembled

    Order, delivery scan, customer history, policy excerpt and correspondence, with a contest-or-accept proposal.

  2. Daily02

    Deadlines tracked

    Every open dispute with its deadline; packs proposed with time to spare, never the day before.

  3. Continuously03

    Patterns watched

    Repeat claims, delivered-not-received clusters and refund-then-dispute shown as evidence for a person.

  4. Monthly04

    Recovered and ratio

    Dollars recovered and the dispute ratio as the processor reports them, beside the packs submitted and accepted.

The workspace

Managed like a direct report.

Disputes & Fraud reports into a workspace built for a manager, not an operator. Four of its tabs, drawn as they work.

Capabilities

Built for the job.

The disputes nobody had time to contest. For every chargeback the Disputes & Fraud FTE assembles the order, the delivery scan, the customer's history, the policy the customer agreed to and the correspondence into an evidence pack before the deadline, proposes whether to contest or accept, and submits on your approval. It watches your dispute ratio against the processor's thresholds and flags first-party fraud patterns — repeat claims, delivered-not-received clusters, refund-then-dispute — with the evidence, never as an accusation.

01

An evidence pack per dispute — order, delivery scan, history, policy, thread — assembled before the deadline, submitted only on your approval

02

Fraud patterns surfaced as evidence for a person to judge; it never blocks a customer on its own

03

Reports dollars recovered and the dispute ratio as the processor measures them, not as an estimate

Skills

  • Dispute Evidence Packs

Missions

What you can ask it to do.

Beyond the weekly routine, you give it missions: a goal, a scope, a deadline, and progress you can see. Three modes, all of them bounded.

Production

Clear the open dispute backlog

A bounded push through every contestable dispute before its deadline, each approved.

Diagnostic

Why did disputes rise this quarter?

Ranked causes with the cases: a carrier lane, a product, a campaign, a descriptor customers do not recognise.

Strategy

Which disputes should we stop contesting?

Win rate by reason and value, with the cases not worth the effort named.

Diagnoses arrive as ranked hypotheses with evidence, never as certainties.

Control

You manage. Disputes & Fraud executes.

It starts at Level 0 and earns autonomy one step at a time. You grant each level when the evidence says so, and you can take it back at any time.

  1. Level 0

    Proposes only

    Every draft, launch, send or spend waits in Approvals. This is where every FTE starts.

  2. Level 1

    Low-risk on its own

    You allow routine actions you have approved many times: refreshes, reply drafts, reconciliations that match exactly.

  3. Level 2

    Acts inside caps

    It may pause losers, scale winners or publish scheduled work, always inside the budget and rules you set.

  4. Level 3

    Runs the week

    Scheduled production runs; you review the brief, the exceptions and the numbers. Any level can be taken back at any time.

FAQ

Before you hire.

Short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Will it block a customer it thinks is committing fraud?

No. It shows the pattern with the evidence and a person decides. It never labels anyone and never blocks an account on its own.

What can the Disputes & Fraud FTE do without my approval?

Nothing that leaves your company. Disputes & Fraud proposes first: every publish, send or spend waits in Approvals with its reasons and evidence. You can grant more autonomy step by step and take it back at any time. Every action is logged.

How is it priced?

Plans are token-metered blocks of work, not seats. Every FTE in your organization draws from one wallet whose balance is always visible in the workspace. At zero the FTEs pause; they never overdraw.

How long does onboarding take?

Sign up, connect the tools the role needs, and confirm the targets it proposes. Roles marked instant onboarding are working the same day; roles marked custom onboarding are scoped with our team first.

Where does my data go?

Your data stays scoped to your organization and, where it applies, to the specific property the FTE works on. Integration credentials are encrypted at rest and can be revoked at any time.

Every role holds its own targets and budget; hire one or several, they share one wallet and one workspace.
