Agents7 required

Duration5-10 minutes

Analyzes refunds by product, segment, amount, and reason to produce a margin-protection brief and process improvement ideas.

How it runs

Multi-agent orchestration — here's the flow, step by step.

Call verslay_recall to retrieve prior refund rate baselines, margin impact percentages, and refund policy thresholds from memory. Connect to Stripe to pull all refunds for the specified period: refund IDs, amounts, original charge amounts, refund reasons (duplicate, fraudulent, requested_by_customer, other), product/price IDs, and customer IDs. Produce a structured refund transaction dataset as Phase 1 output.

payment scanner

Consume Phase 1 refund dataset. Aggregate refunds by reason code and product line. Calculate gross refund rate (refund volume / gross revenue), net revenue impact, and margin erosion per product line. Identify the top 5 refund-generating customers and the top 3 products with the highest refund rates. Flag refund rate spikes (>2x baseline from memory) as anomalies requiring investigation. Produce a margin-impact analysis for Phase 4.

stripe revenue operations analyst

In parallel with stripe-revenue-operations-analyst, call verslay_web_search for 'SaaS refund rate benchmarks 2026' and 'refund policy optimization margin protection' to surface industry-standard acceptable refund rates and policy best practices. Call verslay_news_search for any consumer protection regulation changes affecting refund obligations in the user's market. Call verslay_scholar_search for research on refund policy design and its effect on customer LTV and churn. Produce a refund policy benchmarks package for Phase 4.

web researcher

Consume Phase 2 margin-impact analysis and Phase 2 benchmarks. Calculate the true margin impact of refunds: gross margin before refunds vs net margin after, broken down by product line. Compare the company's refund rate to the industry benchmark from Phase 2. Identify whether refund spikes correlate with specific pricing changes, product updates, or seasonal patterns. Produce a margin review synthesis for Phase 4.

revenue analyst

Consume Phase 3 margin review, Phase 2 analyses, and Phase 2 benchmarks. Build a refund margin impact table: gross revenue, refund volume, net revenue, refund rate, margin before/after refunds, vs industry benchmark. Call verslay_chart_create to generate a refund-by-reason bar chart and a margin-erosion trend line chart. Produce an enriched synthesis package for Phase 5.

data analyst

Consume Phase 4 charts and synthesis, Phase 3 margin review, and Phase 2 benchmarks. Write the refund margin review brief: headline refund rate and margin impact, benchmark comparison, top refund drivers (by reason and product), anomaly highlights, and 3 recommended policy or product actions to reduce refund-driven margin erosion. Call verslay_memorize to store the current period's refund rate, net margin impact, and top refund reasons as baseline. Pass to distributor.
