# Resolverpad

*/Startups/Resolverpad*

## Startup Overview

This automated reconciliation engine handles payment disputes and gateway matching for digital merchants. Rather than forcing finance teams to manually track unmatched transactions across fragmented payment processors, the system connects directly to payment gateways to ingest transaction data, assemble evidence, and execute chargeback responses.

Traditional enterprise ledger tools like BlackLine demand extensive manual configuration, while outsourced services like Chargebacks911 rely on rigid, opaque workflows. This alternative operates completely zero-touch for existing finance teams, eliminating the need for dedicated dispute managers. By pricing strictly per successful resolution, it guarantees that costs are only incurred when revenue is actively recovered.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

## 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 historical shadow pilot: Process a merchant's past 90 days of friendly fraud disputes to demonstrate an 80% theoretical win rate and calculate the exact dollar amount of revenue that would have been recovered.
- 60-day live processing pilot: Route all new Stripe and Shopify disputes through Resolverpad to validate the 100% on-time submission guarantee and measure the reduction in weekly manual evidence compilation hours.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 80% or higher win rate on friendly fraud chargebacks.
- Aim: 20+ hours per week reduction in manual CRM and shipping data compilation.
- Target: 100% on-time evidence submission rate across all supported payment gateways.
- Target: Net-positive cash flow achieved in month one by tying costs exclusively to successfully recovered funds.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market direct-to-consumer brand (Finance Director): Validates the transition from manual native payment gateway tools to automated evidence compilation, targeting an 80% win rate on friendly fraud chargebacks.
- High-volume subscription service (Payments Operations Lead): Demonstrates the impact of automated ledger reconciliation, aiming to show the elimination of 20 hours per week previously spent mapping dispute data to ERP schemas.
- Growing e-commerce merchant (Owner/Operator): Proves the value of the 100% on-time submission guarantee, targeting zero missed dispute deadlines across Stripe and Shopify integrations.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Director of Finance: Sentiment focusing on the seamless ingestion of pre-formatted journal entries into their existing ERP, completely replacing manual end-of-month chargeback reconciliation.
- E-commerce Operations Manager: Sentiment highlighting the relief of hands-off evidence compilation via read-only APIs, trusting the system to pull accurate CRM and shipping data without human intervention.
- Payments Risk Specialist: Sentiment validating the usage-based pricing model, confirming that the platform pays for itself by only charging when disputed funds are actually won back.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Major payment gateways like Stripe and Adyen restrict API access or deprecate endpoints used by third-party dispute managers. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: The zero-touch integration fails because diverse ERP setups and custom ledger structures require intense manual onboarding engineering. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Automated dispute win rates underperform against specialized manual teams, directly reducing revenue in the success-based pricing model. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Enterprise finance teams reject success-based pricing in favor of predictable fixed SaaS fees for high-volume reconciliation. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
