IFD FRAUD-SIGNAL EVALUATION WORKSHEET

Use this worksheet to prepare a useful first conversation. Describe the workflow without including customer records or sensitive account information.

1. THE DECISION
Which action are you trying to assess?
Where in the customer journey does the decision occur?
What can your team do at that moment: allow, review, verify, limit a benefit or escalate?

2. THE PROBLEM
What harm or operational burden are you investigating?
Which examples are confirmed, which are suspected and which remain unexplained?
What legitimate activity could look similar?

3. CURRENT EVIDENCE
Which account, contact, identity, device, network or transaction signals are available?
When do they arrive, and who can see them?
Where does the reviewer lose context?

4. THE PROPOSED SIGNAL
What specific question should the new data help answer?
What does the provider measure directly, and what does it infer?
How are missing, uncertain or stale results represented?
Which markets and user types need to be represented in testing?

5. EVALUATION OUTCOMES
Record whether the new evidence changes a meaningful decision.
Compare confirmed abuse, legitimate completion, uncertain cases and review effort.
Include legitimate privacy tools, shared devices and ordinary customer retries where relevant.
Avoid treating a higher alert count as a successful result by itself.

6. PRACTICAL FIT
Required response time:
Integration work:
Data freshness and coverage requirements:
Volume and billable-event assumptions:
Testing or product charges to confirm:
Operational owner:
