\nFAQ<\/h2>\n
\nNot alone\u2014but successive unexplained hikes<\/strong> combined with support silence are strong predictors.<\/p>\n
\nNot fully. Speed and clustering<\/strong> (group disputes, sudden cancellations) also trigger reviews.<\/p>\n
\nAnywhere from 7 to 180 days<\/strong>, depending on contract\/risk profile. That\u2019s why you need both a cash buffer<\/strong> and multi-MID setup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nYes. A pre-notice<\/strong> with volume forecasts, geo split, AOV expectations, and fraud controls reduces false positives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
