Identity clusters connect the dots a single order hides: the same customer behind alias emails and phone numbers is linked into one cluster, so a repeat disputer's third "first order" scores like what it is.
// the real product

// pre-dispute alerts
Mastercard
Inbound issuer-side alert when a customer files a dispute. We auto-refund or counter within the response window, before the chargeback lands.
Visa
Consumer Dispute Resolution Network — early warning from the issuer. Same auto-route: refund inside window, or queue evidence for rebuttal.
Visa
Rapid Dispute Resolution. Pre-authorized refund rules fire automatically when criteria match — never wait for a human to click.
Every inbound alert lands in dispute_alerts with vendor, reason code, response window, and routing decision — auto-refund, auto-rebut, or human review. Same audit plane shape as every other Magistry write.

// evidence + rebuttal
Each dispute reason code — fraud, product-not-received, not-as-described — has its own evidence template. Magistry walks the order, the fulfillment, the customer-comms thread, and fills it.
Compelling Evidence 3.0 — if the customer has two prior undisputed transactions on the same merchant, we surface the data Visa needs to dismiss the dispute on technicality.
Rebuttal letter drafted from the evidence pack — fact-grounded, citation-rich, formatted to the issuer's accepted spec. Reply Judge scores before submit.
On Shopify Payments, the evidence pack ships directly through the disputes API — never a manual upload. Stripe and PayPal submission are on the roadmap.
// submission targets

Disputes API · roadmap
On the roadmap — same workflow shape. Evidence assembly and rebuttal drafting work today; direct submission is coming.
Friendly-fraud disputes are winnable when the evidence is assembled well and submitted on time. Dispute Shield builds the evidence pack from your order and tracking data and runs the prevention and rebuttal loops on the same audit plane as the rest of your store.
