24Metrics is a verified, established B2B fraud detection platform operating since 2013 with valid integrations (Everflow, Adjust). However, the project submission contains heavily exaggerated and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone', team size discrepancies), which severely penalized the score. While the technology and business utility are high, the submission quality failed to accurately represent the project's actual niche traction.

Description
Fraud Detection on Affiliate is a very manual task especially if you have thousands of conversions to screen for. Applying a BigData engine we simplify and speed up the checks looking at many data points simultaneously that are not available with traditional tracking systems.\n\nWe are profitable and growing fast by expanding our existing client base while at the same time growing into new fields.\n\nFraudshield analyzes affiliate traffic, searching for abnormal patterns that are related to fraud. By applying self developed algorithms we are able to identify any sorts of traffic patterns such as IP Abuse, Proxy Detection, Cookie Dropping, Incentivized traffic, consistent low order amounts and more! Current accuracy of detection is at 98%\n\nOur business model is based on a subscription model starting at $299 / month with additional volume priced separately.
