The friction
Bottlenecks your team hits at intake.
Queue volume vs SLA
Refund tickets age while analysts open five systems to reconstruct a single customer history.
Serial refunders look legitimate
One-off tickets hide wardrobing and repeat-return patterns that only show across orders and accounts.
Multi-account abuse
Device, address, and payment links are missed, so the same buyer refunds under new accounts.
Approve-by-default pressure
SLA clocks force payouts without a policy-cited hold or deny when evidence is thin.
