Worst for

Fintech / marketplaces / non-e-commerce (Sift better), Stripe-anchored commerce (Stripe Radar simpler), AML need (ComplyAdvantage / Sardine), or mid-market wanting lower TCO.

For context: who it IS for

Enterprise e-commerce retailers (1,000-50,000+ employees) wanting fraud platform agnostic of payment processor with cross-merchant identity graph signal.

Target size: 1,000–50,000+ · Enterprise e-commerce

Why we say this
