Trust as a Service

The trust layer for the internet

In the age of AI, anyone can fake anything. suss. is the infrastructure that tells you what's real — domain trust scores, scam intelligence, entity reputation, and ambient protection, all through one API.

Fraud tools catch transactions.
They miss everything before the transaction.

Social engineering happens in DMs, emails, marketplace listings, and checkout pages — long before money moves. By the time a traditional fraud tool flags it, your user already sent the wire. suss. intervenes at the moment of deception, not the moment of payment.

72%

of scam losses start with a message, not a transaction

median loss per victim — most below fraud team review thresholds

35%

of victims reached through SMS — outside your platform entirely

Five intelligence layers, one API

Not just "is this a scam." We tell you what it is, who's behind it, whether the domain is trustworthy, and exactly what to do about it.

Trust Scoring

0-100 trust score for any domain. Aggregates multiple proprietary and public intelligence sources into a single, actionable number.

verified / established / moderate / new / suspicious

Scam Detection

450+ signals detect social engineering across 30+ scam categories — romance, job, marketplace, crypto, BEC, and more. Purpose-built ML models, not keyword matching.

95%+ precision with near-zero false positives

Image Forensics

Visual fingerprinting, AI-generated image detection, OCR text extraction, document forgery analysis, and provenance verification.

Multiple detection methods in parallel

Entity Graph

Phone numbers, emails, crypto wallets, payment handles, domains — all linked with reputation scores. Flagged on one platform, known everywhere.

Cross-platform operator clustering

Comprehension

LLM-powered contextual analysis for ambiguous cases. Fetches pages, reads content, and explains what's happening in plain language. Not just a score — a verdict.

what / so what / now what
Developer Experience

Three APIs, one integration

Scan any text, image, or URL. Check the trust score of any domain. Look up any entity. All REST, all JSON, all fast.

POST /api/score

Scan text, images, and URLs. Returns risk score, signals, trust data, guidance, and entity intelligence in one call.

GET /api/trust/{domain}

Domain trust score (0-100), trust level, signals, evidence from 5 sources, and trust history over time.

GET /api/entity/{type}/{value}

Look up any phone, email, handle, or wallet. Returns report count, risk level, linked entities, and platform history.

Every scan makes the network smarter.

You're not buying a classifier. You're joining a trust network with compounding intelligence.

Cross-Platform Intelligence

A phone number flagged in a marketplace scam is instantly risky in a job listing. An image used in a romance scam is recognized in an ad. Intelligence flows across every client.

Continuous Learning

Daily retraining from 200K+ samples, nightly gap analysis from real victim reports, automated drift monitoring. The model evolves faster than the scams.

Ambient, Not Reactive

We don't wait for users to paste a message. The extension scans every page, email, marketplace listing, and chat automatically. Protection is invisible until it matters.

Trust shouldn't be this hard to verify.
