# Denialdome

*/Startups/Denialdome*

## Startup Overview

The system integrates directly with merchant payment gateways to extract raw transaction telemetry and session data. It automatically compiles and submits the precise evidentiary packets required by issuing banks to reverse fraudulent disputes. By instantly linking checkout behavioral data to disputed transactions, the software intercepts and contests friendly fraud and outright theft without human oversight.

High-volume digital merchants lose significant revenue to illegitimate chargebacks, often forfeiting valid funds because compiling dispute evidence manually drains resources. Risk analysts typically spend hours digging through CRM logs, payment histories, and fulfillment confirmations to build a single defense. This engine eliminates that operational drag, intercepting disputes the moment they register and formatting the response to match the exact requirements of each card network.

While incumbent dispute services like Chargehound, Midigator, and Justt still require dashboard management, rigid rulesets, or upfront software fees, this approach operates as a fully zero-touch execution layer. It initiates and completes the entire dispute cycle autonomously. The commercial model aligns directly with merchant recovery, charging no subscription fees and operating strictly on outcome pricing per won dispute.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that extracts transaction telemetry to autonomously submit chargeback evidence

- [Manual risk analysts](/Competitors/Manual_risk_analysts)
**Differentiator2x2**: fully zero-touch in execution and strictly outcome-priced per won dispute

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Aiming to achieve >65% win rates on friendly fraud for e-commerce merchants.
- Targeting zero manual hours spent on evidence compilation for recovered transactions.
- Designed to submit fully formatted dispute rebuttals within 5 minutes of notification.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Recovery · Price: ~15%–20% of recovered funds · Inclusions: Automated ingestion of transaction telemetry, zero-touch evidence compilation, and direct processor submission for all disputed charges.
- Name: Volume Recovery · Price: ~9%–14% of recovered funds · Inclusions: Designed for merchants processing >500 monthly disputes, adding intended support for custom internal database webhooks and priority routing.
**Guarantee**: Strict outcome-based billing: merchants only pay a percentage of the funds successfully returned to their account. If a chargeback dispute is lost, the evidence compilation and submission costs nothing.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: We do not want to expose raw customer data. Rebuttal: Designed to require only transaction-level telemetry via payment gateway read-access, avoiding full PII exposure.
- Objection: Automated systems miss nuance that our human risk analysts catch. Rebuttal: Maps specific processor-required evidence fields directly to event logs, removing human error and fatigue.
- Objection: Our current chargeback win rate is already acceptable. Rebuttal: The service is purely outcome-priced; there is no fixed cost to testing this against your un-fought disputes.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: Denialdome → E-commerce Merchant Risk & Finance Team
**Gtm Motion**: Acquires merchants through zero-risk, outcome-priced pilots where the platform ingests a subset of recent disputes to prove its win rate. Expands within the account by taking over the entire chargeback pipeline across all of the merchant's payment gateways and acquiring banks.
**Agent Channel**: Intended to list in agent-accessible API registries (such as the LangChain tool catalog or OpenAI schema directories) as a discrete 'Submit Dispute Evidence' capability for autonomous AI financial controllers.
**Primary Channel**: Payment gateway integration ecosystems (e.g., Stripe App Marketplace, Adyen integration directory) where merchant operations teams actively search for chargeback mitigation add-ons.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day automated submission pilot: Connect read-only access to a merchant's payment gateway to instantly compile and submit evidence for 100% of friendly fraud disputes, aiming to establish a baseline win rate exceeding 50%.
- 60-day split-test against manual review: Route 50% of a high-volume merchant's disputes through the automated telemetry ingestion engine, targeting proof that zero-touch submissions match or beat the win rate of the internal human risk team.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: >65% win rate on friendly fraud chargeback disputes
- Aim: 0 manual human hours spent compiling transaction evidence per recovered chargeback
- Target: <5 minute turnaround time from payment gateway notification to processor rebuttal submission
- Aim: 100% submission rate for all incoming eligible chargeback disputes
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market e-commerce merchant: Aims to document the shift from abandoning low-value friendly fraud disputes due to manual labor costs to automatically fighting and winning disputes under $50 using zero-touch evidence compilation.
- High-volume SaaS subscription provider: Targets the replacement of manual chargeback review processes with automated telemetry ingestion, demonstrating the recovery of lost recurring revenue without increasing fraud operations headcount.
- Digital goods marketplace: Illustrates the elimination of dispute backlogs by proving the system submits fully formatted rebuttals to payment processors within 5 minutes of the initial chargeback notification.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Risk / Fraud Operations: Sentiment expressing relief that the automated telemetry mapping meets rigid processor evidence requirements more consistently than human analysts.
- CFO / Head of Finance: Sentiment highlighting satisfaction that the strict outcome-based pricing model turned previously abandoned disputes into recovered revenue with zero fixed software overhead.
- E-commerce Store Owner: Sentiment emphasizing confidence in the system's ability to protect their merchant account standing by automatically fighting invalid chargebacks without exposing raw PII.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Major card networks or payment processors restrict API access or terms of service for third-party automated dispute submissions. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: The strictly outcome-priced model causes severe cash flow starvation if the average dispute resolution cycle stretches past the typical ninety day window. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Automated telemetry extraction misses nuanced contextual evidence required for complex friendly fraud cases resulting in lower win rates than manual analysts. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Well-funded incumbents like Chargehound or Midigator match the zero-touch outcome-priced model before Denialdome secures initial enterprise distribution. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
