What is Suspect Score

Suspect Score is a single value representing how many Smart Signals indicative of suspicious or fraudulent activity were triggered for a particular requestId. Each triggered Smart Signal is represented by a positive integer called a weight. Weights are additive, meaning that the more Smart Signals return a positive value, the higher the final score.

It's part of the Smart Signals payload available in Server API, Webhooks and Sealed Client Results.

Suspect Score Weights

Each Smart Signal has its own weight, contributing to the final score. The weights are currently based on the probability that the selected Smart Signal is triggered on a global scale. Smart Signals that are less likely to be triggered have stronger weights, and vice versa.

Weights might have slightly different values based on the request's originating platform (web, Android and iOS). This is caused by different representation of average traffic for each platform.

How to Use Suspect Score

Suspect Score can be used to flag and review possible suspicious activity. It can be used to quickly integrate Smart Signals into your fraud protection workflow without the need to explore fraud correlations of individual Smart Signals.
