# Incisputes

*/Startups/Incisputes*

## Startup Overview

This API-first chargeback representment engine automatically compiles shipping and order data directly from CRM platforms to fight disputed transactions. The system programmatically matches chargeback claims with delivery confirmations, invoice details, and customer interaction histories to generate complete dispute response packets.

E-commerce merchants forfeit revenue to friendly fraud because assembling the required evidence for the issuing bank requires tedious manual data retrieval. Operations teams waste hours pulling tracking numbers and communication logs from disparate systems, often missing narrow submission windows or filing incomplete responses.

While alternatives like Chargehound, Midigator, or manual dispute operations require upfront software costs or heavy headcount, this approach operates invisibly through a strict API integration. It eliminates overhead risk by pricing the service exclusively on successful chargeback reversals, charging a fee only when revenue is actually recovered.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that compiles CRM shipping data for chargeback representment
**Competitors**:

- [Midigator](/Competitors/Midigator)
- [manual dispute operations](/Competitors/manual_dispute_operations)
**Differentiator2x2**: outcome-priced on successful reversals and strictly API-first

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting a 60%+ win rate for card-not-present fraud disputes in digital retail.
- Aiming to eliminate manual evidence gathering for finance teams entirely.
- Designed to automatically submit evidence packages within 24 hours of dispute notification.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Recovery · Price: ~15%–20% of successfully recovered chargeback value · Inclusions: Automated ingestion of CRM data, evidence formatting, and representment package submission for up to 500 disputes per month.
- Name: Enterprise Volume · Price: ~9%–14% of successfully recovered chargeback value · Inclusions: Unlimited automated dispute submissions intended for high-volume merchants processing 500+ chargebacks monthly, including custom API webhooks.
**Guarantee**: You pay exclusively for chargebacks successfully reversed in your favor; if a representment is lost, the evidence compilation and submission cost zero.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: 'We use a bespoke order management system.' Rebuttal: Incisputes is designed strictly as an API-first service to map data from any custom webhook or endpoint.
- Objection: 'Our payment gateway already offers a dispute tool.' Rebuttal: Gateways provide forms you must fill manually; we intend to programmatically compile tracking, session, and communication logs to build the actual case.
- Objection: 'Won't we lose control over what gets submitted?' Rebuttal: The system can be configured to auto-submit low-value disputes while holding high-value cases in a review queue for final approval.

## 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 integration pilot focused on connecting a merchant's custom webhook endpoints to programmatically compile tracking and session logs into 50 valid test representment packages.
- 60-day live deployment pilot capping automated submissions at 200 card-not-present disputes to prove the system can achieve the 60%+ win rate target before full Enterprise rollout.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 60%+ win rate for card-not-present fraud disputes in digital retail
- Aim: Under 24 hours from chargeback notification to automated representment package submission
- Target: 100% reduction in manual evidence gathering hours for internal finance teams
- Target: 0 dollars spent on lost representments due to the success-only usage pricing model
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market digital retailer processing 200 disputes monthly. Target transformation: Eliminate manual payment gateway form-filling by automatically compiling session and tracking logs, recovering lost revenue on a pure performance basis.
- High-volume e-commerce enterprise handling over 500 monthly chargebacks. Target transformation: Connect their bespoke order management system via API webhooks to generate and submit representment packages within 24 hours of notification.
- Digital subscription service. Target transformation: Route high-volume, low-ticket disputes to instant auto-submission while funneling high-value cases into a dedicated approval queue for the finance team.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Finance expressing relief that the usage-metered, success-only pricing model completely removes the financial risk of fighting low-value chargebacks.
- E-commerce Operations Lead validating that the API-first architecture seamlessly maps complex tracking and communication logs from their custom OMS without engineering friction.
- Payments Manager highlighting the efficiency of the hybrid workflow that auto-submits low-value disputes while retaining manual approval controls for high-value cases.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Payment gateways or card networks update their representment API rules to block or severely throttle automated third-party submissions. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Major CRM platforms restrict or heavily monetize the API access required to automatically pull the shipping and customer interaction data needed to build cases. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: The outcome-based pricing model depletes cash runway if baseline chargeback win rates fall below the threshold required to cover infrastructure and API costs. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Incumbent competitors like Midigator or Chargehound replicate the outcome-based pricing structure before sufficient market share is secured. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
