Fast, consistent decisions at checkout speed

Where this stands In progress

The foundation works today. The retail pack is being built.

Works today, for every industry
  • One view of every party. People, companies, households and locations matched across your systems.
  • Evidence with a source. Every fact carries where it came from and how far it can be trusted.
  • Approvals that match authority. Decisions approved by people whose authority covers them, checked at the moment of approval.
  • Signed, replayable records. Every decision sealed as one record an auditor can verify and replay.
Being built for retail
  • Refund and exception decision types
  • Real-time pattern checks
  • Store-level authority limits
What design partners do now

Start in a private sandbox with synthetic or approved sample data, using the shared foundation for one real decision, and shape the industry pack with us as it's built. Card data stays tokenized and is never stored.

Who it's for

Decisions we're building for

Store operations, e-commerce and customer service teams, loss prevention, and finance.

What's hard today

AI helps with the task. Proving the decision is still manual.

The same decision, today and with KrisVen

Planned
Today

AI flags suspicious returns and suggests decisions, and managers override them. But each channel applies the rules differently, return history lives in another system, and an employee can sometimes approve a refund for themselves or a friend without anyone noticing.

What we're building

Each decision sees the customer's recent pattern across channels, applies the same rules everywhere, routes exceptions to a manager within the checkout window, and stops anyone approving their own refund.

Value we're building toward

What your team will get

The same rules everywhere

Stores, online and customer service apply one policy, with the version recorded.

Patterns in view

Each refund sees the customer's recent returns across channels.

No self-approval

Employees cannot approve their own refunds or price exceptions.

Decisions in seconds

Routine cases are decided instantly; exceptions reach a manager within the checkout window.

How it will work

A receipt-less return above the store limit

A synthetic example of the planned workflow.

  1. 1

    The return is scanned

    The item and the customer's loyalty account are matched; there is no receipt.

  2. 2

    The pattern is checked

    Across stores and online, the customer has made several receipt-less returns in 90 days.

  3. 3

    Policy routes it

    The amount is above the store limit, so the return goes to a manager.

  4. 4

    A manager decides

    The manager, who is not the employee at the till, offers store credit and records why.

  5. 5

    The decision is recorded

    The pattern, the policy version and the manager's decision are kept for loss prevention.

Value you'll be able to measure

What to baseline now

Design partners set these baselines on their current process, so the improvement can be measured when the pack is ready.

Consistency across channelsHow often the same case gets the same decision in store and online.
Refund abuse caughtPatterns flagged before a refund is paid.
Time to decide exceptionsSeconds from scan to decision for routed cases.
Self-approvalsShould be zero; measured to prove it.
Regulatory pressure it will help with

Built with your regulators' questions in mind

Card data security (PCI DSS)Consumer protection and refund policy disclosureEmployee fraud controls

KrisVen provides governance infrastructure that supports these expectations. Determining and attesting to compliance remains the responsibility of the deploying organization and its counsel.

Works with what you run

Alongside your existing systems

KrisVen will connect to the systems your teams already use and record the decisions made with them. It doesn't replace them.
