SentinelGuard AI: Fraud Prevention Proposal for RetailFlow

Vendor Proposal · SentinelGuard AI Pty Ltd · 2 March 2026

Initiative: Fraud Detection Commercial in confidence

Thank you for the opportunity to partner with RetailFlow. SentinelGuard AI protects more than 120 retailers across Australia and New Zealand. Our proprietary deep-learning engine, SentinelCore™, stops fraud before it costs you a cent.

Headline results

Note: The figures above are drawn from our aggregate client portfolio across fashion, electronics and travel retail, benchmarked on our customers' transaction data. Individual results vary by merchant.

How SentinelCore™ works

SentinelCore™ evaluates over 400 signals per transaction through a continuously self-learning neural network. To protect the integrity of our models and our competitive advantage, the specific features, weightings and decision logic are proprietary and are not disclosed to clients. You simply receive an Approve, Review or Decline verdict and a risk score from 0–100. There is no need for your team to understand or maintain the model.

Performance profile

Our customers tell us the modest review queue is a small price for the protection delivered.

Commercials

ComponentFee
Platform licence (annual)$96,000
Integration & onboarding (one-off)$45,000
Per-transaction screening fee$0.11 per order screened
Manual review escalation (per case)$1.40

On RetailFlow's online order volumes, the per-transaction component is expected to be the largest line over time and scales directly with your growth, so the more you sell, the more the platform earns alongside you.

Next steps

We propose a four-week onboarding with a two-week shadow period. Note that SentinelCore™ runs on our standard portfolio thresholds; bespoke threshold configuration is available under our Enterprise tier (quoted separately).
