About
Operator-minded payments strategy.
Positioning
Payments is a product surface area and an operating system. We help teams make confident decisions with clear tradeoffs, measurable outcomes, and a bias toward simplicity.
Beliefs
- Metrics first: if you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.
- Operate what you build: systems should be debuggable and supportable.
- Tradeoffs are the job: optimize cost, authorization, fraud, and UX together.
Who we help
- Payments, risk, and fraud leaders
- Product and engineering teams shipping checkout and routing
- Finance and ops teams managing cost and disputes
What “good” looks like
- Clear instrumentation and dashboards (auth, cost, fraud/disputes, ops)
- A rational provider stack with explicit roles and fallback paths
- Repeatable rollout and incident processes
Who this is for
Teams operating payments at meaningful scale — and anyone accountable for cost, approvals, fraud/disputes, or global coverage.
Common triggers
- Costs creeping up or pricing renewals coming
- Approval rate plateauing as you scale
- Expansion requiring local method coverage
- Ops load growing: disputes, incidents, and reporting
