Response Architecture.

ABIS returns rich behavioral assessments. Understanding response structure is the foundation for building intelligent applications that act on behavioral insights.

RESPONSE STRUCTURE

Every ABIS response contains three core components: a risk assessment (numerical score with confidence interval), behavioral signals (detected patterns and anomalies), and metadata (processing time, model version, request ID).

The risk score is a probability between 0.0 and 1.0 representing the likelihood of malicious or fraudulent behavior. However, this score alone is insufficient—the confidence interval indicates how certain ABIS is about the assessment based on available behavioral data.

Response handling should never rely on hardcoded thresholds. Instead, implement configurable decision policies that can be tuned based on your application's risk tolerance and observed false positive rates.

RISK SCORE

Probability 0.0-1.0 indicating behavioral risk level. Higher scores indicate more suspicious patterns.

CORE FIELD

CONFIDENCE

How certain ABIS is about the score. Low confidence means limited behavioral data available.

CORE FIELD

SIGNALS

Array of detected behavioral patterns: velocity anomalies, device changes, geographic impossibilities.

DETAIL FIELD

METADATA

Request ID, processing time, model version. Essential for debugging and audit trails.

Why should you consider confidence intervals alongside risk scores when making decisions?
