ContractSense learns how your partners' APIs and webhooks actually behave in production, then flags the moment behavior drifts from the contract, before the drift reaches your database.
Documented API schemas cover roughly 40% of actual integration behavior: field co-occurrence, event ordering, and retry semantics are almost never in the docs. Source: business case research, not a ContractSense measurement.
transaction_id is being omitted on a subset of succeeded events. Add a null-check before reconciliation runs, and confirm with Stripe whether this is an intentional schema change.
Observability catches errors and latency. Contract testing catches schema breaks before deploy. Neither one learns what a partner's API actually does once it's live in your production traffic.
A live baseline for each partner, not a static spec, updated from what actually crosses the wire.
Read-only ingestion from your webhook and API traffic, no changes to partner integrations required.
Field co-occurrence, event ordering, retry semantics, status meanings, the 60% no schema documents.
Every deviation from the learned baseline is scored, deduplicated, and ranked by transaction impact.
PagerDuty and OpsGenie routing, plus a plain-English recommendation your team can act on immediately.
DORA requires continuous monitoring of third-party ICT provider behavior. ContractSense's anomaly log doubles as the evidence trail, without a spreadsheet built the week before the audit.
Operational risk management: a continuous, timestamped record of third-party behavioral risk, not a point-in-time review.
Incident reporting: anomaly detail, affected transaction counts, and detection time, ready to attach to a filing.
The business case's own estimate: teams in this range report $126k–$168k a year in manual integration firefighting, plus tool sprawl, against a $6k–$24k ContractSense subscription. That's a planning estimate, not a result we've measured for a live customer yet.
Datadog watches whether requests succeed and how fast. It stays green when a field silently changes meaning inside a 200 response. ContractSense watches the shape and meaning of the data itself.
Contract testing verifies a written contract before you deploy. It can't see a partner change their production behavior six weeks later without telling you. ContractSense learns from what's actually happening, continuously.
No. ContractSense reads from your existing webhook and API traffic. There's nothing to ask a partner to install, configure, or agree to.
Point ContractSense at an integration's traffic and it starts learning immediately. A stable baseline typically forms within the first few days of representative traffic, then every deviation gets scored against it.
