Value realization metrics

The goal of the main metrics in the Dashboard page is to show the merchant the product coverage and value for them - the bottom line.

  1. Total analyzed transactions value + count

  2. Loss prevented - the sum of direct cancellations and verification-driven cancellations.

  • Direct cancellations - orders where the product recommends "cancel," and the merchant follows through.

  • Verification-driven cancellations - orders where the product recommends "verify," and the buyer fails verification, leading to cancellation.

Assumption - orders approved or successfully verified and fulfilled are assumed safe and don’t contribute to loss prevented

3. Missed savings - sum of the overridden Verify or Cancel recommendations, based on the the transaction outcome (CHBs, dispute, nothing)

4. Potential Risk Exposure - the total revenue tied to active flagged orders (e.g., orders marked for verification or cancellation)
