The Problem With Traditional Solutions

Most agencies treat fraud detection as binary: block or allow. They create friction for real customers while sophisticated attackers adapt within days.

reCAPTCHA v2

Frustrating puzzles that make real customers abandon your form.

Honeypot Fields

Simple hidden fields that any modern bot can detect and skip effortlessly.

Doing Nothing

Accepting the spam and wasting hours of your sales team's time.

Our approach is different.

We score every submission across 12 synchronized layers, providing full transparency without blocking legitimate leads.

From Edge to Inbox

The 12-Layer Defense

Every submission passes through this gauntlet. Legitimate users glide through; bots get stopped cold.

01

Cloudflare Edge Protection

Most attacks never make it past this layer. We stop them at the network edge.

  • WAF & DDoS protection
  • Bot Management intelligence
  • Invisible Turnstile verification
  • IP reputation scoring
02

Intelligent Rate Limiting

Bots get stopped cold. Legitimate users never even notice the limits.

  • 5 submissions/hour (Contact)
  • 3 submissions/hour (Quote)
  • 429 Too Many Requests handling
03

Server-Side Bot Detection

Catches automated scripts that slip past edge protection without friction.

  • Vercel BotID verification
  • -20 points for detected bots
  • +5 points for human verification
04

Hard Blockers

Traps designed specifically for bots. Humans never see them; bots can't resist them.

  • 3 unique honeypot fields
  • Submissions under 2 seconds (-40pts)
  • Non-US IP penalties
05

Email Validation

We check if the email actually exists and can receive mail. No more bounces.

  • MX record verification
  • Disposable domain detection
  • Typosquatting checks (gmial.com)
06

Phone Validation

Includes 'Transplant Amnesty' so real people with out-of-state numbers aren't blocked.

  • NANP standard validation
  • 555-01XX rejection
  • Sequential pattern detection
07

ZIP Code Validation

One of the strongest signals. Everyone knows their own ZIP code. Bots guess.

  • State-to-ZIP mapping
  • ZIP mismatch penalty (-15pts)
  • Invalid ZIP detection
08

Geolocation Matching

When someone says they're in New York but their IP is in Russia, we take note.

  • IP vs. stated location
  • Adjacent state allowance
  • Fuzzy city matching
09

Message Analysis

We scan the content for spam keywords while looking for positive intent signals.

  • 11 categories of spam patterns
  • Crypto/Phishing detection
  • Gibberish/Keyboard mash check
10

Infrastructure Detection

Real people browse from ISPs. Bots run from datacenters. We know the difference.

  • AWS/Google/Azure detection
  • VPN/Proxy ASN referencing
  • Hosting provider patterns
11

Behavioral Analysis

Includes 'Autofill Amnesty' for password managers. We distinguish tools from scripts.

  • Keystroke tracking
  • Mouse movement detection
  • Focus event monitoring
12

Cross-Signal Scoring

The final verdict. Not a block, but a detailed score your effective team can trust.

  • Final correlation check
  • Confidence score calculation
  • Classification assignment

Transparent Scoring

We don't just block. We give you a score so you can make the final call.
