Define rules using the dashboard, definition language, and wizard

Marqeta provides the Real-Time Decisioning dashboard for managing rules to detect fraudulent transactions. The dashboard includes an editor for writing and editing business rules using a dedicated rule language, and a wizard to generate business rules. Marqeta’s risk definition language is a declarative language that allows you to specify state updates and executions on each event that passes through the system. Based on the outcome of the logic you’ve defined, you can specify whether an action should be taken and the action to take.

Perform offline unit testing

Offline Unit testing allows you to validate your rules and ensure that they function as planned. By performing unit testing, you can be sure your rules are valid and that you are not introducing friction for your cardholders.
Stage your rules before going live

Real-Time Decisioning staging allows you to ensure that your rules accomplish what you intend before going live. You can submit your rules for review by other users in your organization and use Sandbox Replay, which uses historical transactions to compare the performance of a previous rule set with how your new rule set would have performed.
Manage false positives

Use the Fraud Feedback API to provide feedback when false positives occur so that subsequent transactions from the same user and card will not be denied.
