Most electrical contractors we talk to aren't short of dashboards or tools - they're short of an hour back in the week. That's the lens we put on AI fraud detection: not a tech showcase, but a careful look at the one or two workflows where an electrical contractor is paying for the same problem to be solved twice.
Built for the electrical contractor who's already tried the off-the-shelf option and bounced off it.
Our goal is to give electrical contractors a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What AI fraud detection actually does
Pattern-watching AI for refund abuse, chargebacks, fake reviews, employee fiddles, and odd supplier invoices. Flags weirdness early - before it's a real problem.
- 01 Learns your normal patterns and flags outliers
- 02 Daily anomaly report, not a constant alert flood
- 03 Explainable scoring so you can act with confidence
- 04 Integrates with Xero, Shopify, and POS systems
Built on: Claude DuckDB Postgres Vercel
What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of AI fraud detection runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for electrical contractors first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How AI fraud detection compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
The pattern across most electrical contractors we work with.
- Electricians juggle callouts, compliance certificates, and quoting, usually from the front seat of a van.
- Certificates of compliance and quote turnaround are where electrical businesses either look professional or lose the job.
How we build AI fraud detection for electrical contractors.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for an electrical contractor business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI fraud + anomaly.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing electrical contractors the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.
The outcome for electrical contractors
If we build the right slice first, electrical contractors feel the difference inside the first month. Recovers 3-5x its cost in caught fraud within 6 months.

FAQ
What's the realistic timeline for AI fraud detection with an electrical contractor?
Most electrical contractors have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
Is AI fraud detection worth it for a smaller electrical contractor?
Often, yes - and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
Do you have proof this works for electrical contractors?
Direct case study: Recovers 3-5x its cost in caught fraud within 6 months. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI fraud detection is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude, DuckDB, Postgres, Vercel are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
One short call.
