Transaction intelligence · By Paying.co

Every transaction begins unclear.

Unclear synthesizes every payment signal into one explainable decision, turning transactional noise into operational clarity. A risk score is only useful if you can defend it, so Unclear hands you the number and the reasoning every time.

01 · How it works

A number you can defend.

Most fraud tools hand you a score and ask you to trust it. Unclear gives you the score and the reasoning, on your own data, in language a reviewer and an auditor can both follow.

SCORE

Five lenses, one score

Each scoring engine examines a different dimension of risk. Their signals combine into one explained score, and each engine's contribution is shown so you know which lens drove the call.

EXPLAIN

Every factor, with its weight

Rules, graph signals, decline patterns and baseline deviations each show their point weight. Any run is reproducible against the model and ruleset version that scored it.

RINGS

Linked transactions

Suspicious transactions are connected into rings, so you see the pattern and not just the single event.

02 · Ask Unclear

Question your portfolio in plain language.

Every scored run is queryable. Ask what you would ask an analyst. Unclear answers from your own data and shows the runs and factors behind the answer.

03 · Your data

Three ways in. No migration project.

Unclear reads the transaction exports you already produce and maps your columns to its canonical fields. No re-plumbing your stack and no connectors to certify.

01

Send a file

Upload CSV or XLSX in the portal.

02

Call the API

Push files over the API and receive webhooks on the Understand plan and above.

03

Watch a folder

Have a processor drop files into a watched folder. Same pipeline, same results.

04 · Who it's for and compliance

Built for the people who answer for the numbers.

Same engine, three vantage points: ISOs, ISVs and processors. Whatever seat you are in, Unclear turns a pile of transactions into a decision you can defend.

ANALYSIS ONLY

Not a processor

Unclear scores and explains. It never touches money, which keeps it out of money-transmission regulation by design.

PCI

Built to stay out of scope

Card numbers are truncated and emails hashed on ingestion. Full PANs are never stored.

ISOLATION

Tenant-isolated

Every report is isolated to its owner. Analysts sign in through your identity provider, such as Google SSO.

06 · FAQ

Questions teams ask before they start.

What does Unclear actually do?

Unclear reads your transaction files, scores each transaction for fraud, and shows the reasons behind every number, plus how suspicious transactions link together into rings. It runs after transactions have occurred, as an analysis layer, not in your authorization path.

What files can I feed it?

CSV and XLSX in, scored verdicts out. Upload in the portal, push files over the API, or have a processor drop them into a watched folder. Unclear maps your columns to its canonical fields, so you do not have to reshape your exports.

Is my payment data secure? Are you in PCI scope?

Unclear is built to stay out of PCI scope. Card numbers are truncated and emails hashed on ingestion, full PANs are never stored, and it does not move money, so it stays out of money-transmission regulation by design. Every report is tenant-isolated to its owner.

How do scores get explained?

Every score breaks down into the factors that produced it: the contributing rules, graph signals, decline patterns and baseline deviations, each with its point weight. Any run is reproducible against the model and ruleset version that scored it.

How do I get access for my team?

Start free on the Observe plan, or request a scoped trial and Unclear will set you up on your own files. Once you are live, analysts sign in through your identity provider such as Google SSO, and your administrator controls who is provisioned.
