Score actions
ops userMap score ranges to actions — allow, review, block, step-up 3DS — and tune thresholds to my own risk appetite instead of a fixed cutoff
weight 2 · round to Stripe RadarStripe Radar's docs clearly support mapping risk levels to actions (block, review, request 3DS, allow via value lists) and tuning via risk-settings/rules with custom attributes, directly matching the story. However, community evidence shows real friction: allow rules are gated behind manual support enablement for newer accounts (comm-7), an ops user hit a 'block' override button that silently did nothing requiring a support ticket (comm-3), and another reports 'lack of easy programmatic control' over false positives (comm-2), indicating the threshold-tuning experience isn't as self-service as docs imply. Missing for 10: independent verification that threshold-to-action mapping is fully self-serve without support intervention, and resolution of the UI override bug.

Scoring api
developerGet a machine-learning risk score for a transaction in real time — synchronously, before authorization completes — through a documented API
weight 3 · round to Stripe RadarDocs confirm Radar attaches a risk level/score to each charge (e.g. test card 4000000000004954 'Results in a charge with a risk level of highest') and that rules/reviews act on this score, implying the score is computed as part of normal payment processing and exposed on the charge object via the API. However, the pack never explicitly documents the exact API field (e.g. charge.outcome.risk_score) or explicitly states the score is available synchronously before authorization completes, and no independent/hands-on confirmation of real-time synchronous scoring is present. missing for 10: explicit API reference/schema for risk_score/risk_level field, explicit documentation stating the score is returned before/at authorization time, independent corroboration of real-time synchronous behavior.

Signifyd's Checkout endpoint is documented to be called before the payment gateway in a Pre-Auth flow, aligning with the 'before authorization' requirement, and there is a documented GetDecision endpoint to retrieve the fraud decision. However, the evidence does not show the Checkout call synchronously returning an ML risk score in its response; decision retrieval appears to depend on a separate GetDecision call or webhook, suggesting an asynchronous decisioning pattern rather than an inline synchronous score. Missing for 10: explicit documentation that the Checkout API response includes a real-time ML score synchronously, and confirmation that no polling/webhook wait is required before authorization completes.

However hands-on community reports contradict smooth programmatic control: one user cites 'lack of easy programmatic control' causing false-positive grief, and another found the dashboard's block-override button non-functional, requiring a support email to whitelist transactions; Stripe itself confirms Allow Rules are gated behind manual support enablement for newer accounts, not self-serve.

weight 3 · round to Stripe RadarStripe docs show a rich rules engine — custom rules using risk score, transaction attributes, value lists (for list matches), and allow/block/review outcomes (docs-1,3,10,13,14) — which covers most of the story. However, community evidence shows secondary caveats: Allow Rules are disabled by default for newer businesses and require manual support enablement (comm-7), and users report inability to override block decisions via UI plus false positives (comm-2,3), indicating real friction in the rule-authoring/decisioning workflow. Missing for 10: explicit documentation/example of velocity-counter attributes in rule syntax, and independent confirmation that all rule types (allow/block/review) work reliably without support intervention.
