How to read a chargeback win-rate claim

A chargeback win rate needs a defined denominator and a completed measurement period. It is not a prediction for your next case.

Ask for the definition

  • Does the denominator include all received disputes or only challenged cases?
  • Are inquiries, alerts and accepted disputes counted?
  • Are pending cases excluded from both sides of the calculation?
  • What period, processor and case categories are included?
  • Who verified the data and how were exclusions handled?

Watch for selection effects

A team that challenges only strong cases can report a high challenge win rate while accepting many others. Compare like-for-like populations before drawing a conclusion about a tool.
