What merchant risk scores can—and cannot—tell you

How StableBridge turns observable P2P merchant signals into explainable decision support.

Explainability first

A score is not a guarantee

Historical completion and order signals cannot eliminate counterparty, payment or platform risk. Scores help compare candidates; they do not certify safety.
