> Identify and assess risk for transactions that are not indemnified by Bolt Fraud Protection.

Source: https://help.boltapp.com/products/add-ons/risk-assessment-scoring

**Risk Assessment Scoring** provides fraud signals at the transaction level. Use it with [Fraud Protection](/products/add-ons/fraud-protection) for transparency, or alone if you do not need chargeback indemnification.

## Who this is for [#who-this-is-for]

Merchants who want per-transaction risk scores and factor breakdowns in the dashboard, with or without full Fraud Protection.

## How it works [#how-it-works]

Each merchant-liable card transaction includes a risk score and breakdown of influencing factors from the same models that power Fraud Protection. Bolt identifies the factors with the highest impact on each score.

<Note>
  Bolt only provides risk scoring for card transactions. Alternative payment method transactions are not assessed.
