Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 45 stories with headroom

What would move Forter’s scores — derived from its own judged verdicts, biggest headroom first. Each line quotes what the judge found missing; shipping it (or evidencing it publicly) is the fix.

  1. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productDelegate tasks to a built-in AI assistant inside the product

    partialq3/10moves Built-in AIimpact 31.5

    Missing: documentation of an in-product conversational assistant UI, examples of task delegation, and how 'Forter Agents' are invoked/configured.

  2. Rules engine — stories about rules engine in this arenaAuthor custom rules that combine model scores, velocity counters, list matches, and transaction attributes into allow, block, or review decisions

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    The evidence pack covers order submission, webhooks, chargeback/dispute automation, and MCP/agentic order tagging, but contains no mention of a custom rules engine, rule authoring UI/API, velocity counters, list matching, or configurable allow/block/review decision logic controlled by risk analysts.

  3. Review queues — stories about review queues in this arenaFlagged transactions land in a review queue that shows the full context — customer history, signals, similar cases — so I can decide quickly and consistently

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Evidence covers order decisioning APIs, webhooks, chargeback/dispute automation, and MCP/agentic order tagging, but there is no mention of a review queue UI showing flagged transactions with customer history, signals, or similar cases for analyst decisioning.

  4. Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesExport all of my data in open formats and leave

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Missing: any documented data export tool, open format (CSV/JSON) export capability, or account-closure data portability process.

  5. Privacy posture — data-handling and privacy storiesPrevent my data from being used to train AI models

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Forter is a fraud-detection/e-commerce risk platform; the evidence pack contains no privacy policy, data-processing agreement, or opt-out mechanism addressing whether user data is used for AI model training.

  6. Model transparency — stories about model transparency in this arenaEvery score comes with its top risk factors — why this transaction looks risky — not just an opaque number

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    No evidence describes score explainability, reason codes, or risk-factor breakdowns accompanying Forter's fraud decisions; the evidence pack covers order submission, webhooks, disputes, and agentic order tagging but nothing about transparency into why a score was assigned.

  7. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productUse an official CLI

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30

    Evidence shows Forter offers REST APIs, webhooks, and an MCP server for conversational AI workflows, but no official CLI tool is documented anywhere in the evidence pack.

  8. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productIssue scoped/least-privilege API credentials for an agent

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30

    Missing: any mention of API key/token scoping, permission levels, or credential issuance workflow for agents.
