affiliate-fraud-detection

Build the detection rule set an affiliate program manager uses to flag fraudulent affiliate activity, plus the investigation and escalation path behind it - cookie stuffing, fake lead and form-fill fraud, self-referral rings, traffic-quality baselines, commission holds and clawbacks, and separating real fraud from legitimate low-incrementality coupon or cashback partners. Covers B2B SaaS lead-gen and B2C ecommerce programs. Use whenever the user mentions affiliate fraud, suspicious affiliate traffic, invalid clicks or leads, bot traffic, or an affiliate whose numbers look too good, even if they never say fraud. Do NOT use for consumer refer-a-friend gaming - use mbfinotti/partnerships-skills@referral-abuse-guardrails instead.
