Scenarios

What this looks like in real businesses.

Three business shapes we see most often. Costs are computed from €1.50 – €4.50 per Trust & Safety case handled and a fully-loaded T&S Specialist benchmark.

    Agent fit

    Trust & Safety Specialist activates report triage and fraud-signal review. Reports classify in minutes; fraud flags get reviewed daily; reviewers shift to policy-ambiguous and high-value work.

    Outcome

How it works

Workflow, systems, and governance.

Workflow summary

The agent picks up cases from triggers — inbound report, dispute filed, audit window, fraud signal — classifies, resolves or routes, and surfaces patterns for reviewer sign-off.

Exceptions

Policy-ambiguous reports, high-value disputes, account-suspension decisions, and severity-sensitive fraud flags route to the reviewer with annotated context.

When humans step in

Humans step in on policy ambiguity, account suspensions, repeat-offender actions, high-value disputes, and severity-sensitive fraud.

Connected systems

Agent operates inside case management, report-intake systems, fraud-signal platforms, content-moderation tooling, and messaging. Triages reports against the policy taxonomy, resolves disputes, runs listing-quality audits, and reviews fraud signals — logs every action with policy citation and audit trail.

Data inputs

Case records, policy taxonomy, user history, listing data, fraud signals. Writes case outcomes, dispute resolutions, audit findings, and fraud-flag decisions back to source systems with policy citations.

Decision logic

Uses policy taxonomy, dispute-resolution logic, listing-quality rubric, and fraud-signal thresholds to decide auto-action, route-to-reviewer, or escalate.

Readiness

Case-management system wired, policy taxonomy loaded, fraud-signal feed connected, reviewer cover agreed.

Integrations

Works inside your existing stack.

No new systems to learn. The role connects to the platforms your team already uses.

What "working" looks like

A case is considered handled when the action — report classified and routed, dispute resolved against policy, listing audited against the rubric, or fraud flag reviewed — has been completed and logged with policy citation.

Questions we get

Frequently asked.

What is the Trust & Safety Specialist Agent?

An AI role priced per case handled. It triages inbound user reports against the policy taxonomy, resolves disputes with policy citation, runs listing-quality audits on cadence, and reviews fraud signals with escalation. Same scope as a T&S specialist hire, priced per case.

How is it priced?

Pure usage: EUR 1.50-4.50 per case handled. Launch fee covers case-management integration, policy-taxonomy mapping, dispute-workflow design, listing-quality rubric, and fraud-signal threshold calibration.

Which T&S platforms does it connect to?

Cinder is the primary case-management target. Sift handles fraud signals. Hive is supported for automated content moderation. Zendesk and Stripe slot in for adjacent case and transaction context.

When do humans step in?

On policy-ambiguous reports, high-value disputes, account-suspension decisions, repeat-offender actions, and severity-sensitive fraud flags. Reviewers keep the final word on every policy call with consequence.

How does it handle policy ambiguity?

Policy-ambiguous cases escalate to the reviewer with full context — report text, user history, prior resolutions, and the specific policy clause the case sits between. The agent never auto-resolves ambiguous policy calls.

How fast does it go live?

Typical 28-42 days. Faster with a documented policy taxonomy, an agreed dispute workflow, and a case-management system already wired.
