The loop runs continuously

From chargeback received to decision ready — before a credit is issued

01 Observe

A chargeback request arrives

A wholesaler sells your product to a contracted provider at the contract price and sends you a chargeback request for the difference over the TraceLink network, the same way they do today.

The chargeback request is received through MINT and translated into the version expected by the chargeback system. The chargeback request triggers the Agent to begin its work.

Integrate-Once™: wholesaler and format changes are absorbed by the network, not by your backlog.

The request triggers the agent — no one starts it
02 Reason

The agent analyzes

The agent begins its job of gathering information and precisely executing its work.

Four checks stop unauthorized credits before they are issued, each answered from business transactions you already exchange with your wholesalers.

Is the price authorized? Checked against the price authorization acknowledgement for that contract and customer on the sale date. Is the customer eligible? Checked against contract membership, so a sale to a provider outside the contract is never credited. Is it a duplicate? Checked against prior requests and credits, so the same debit memo line is never paid twice. Is it a resubmission or rebill? Checked against earlier rejected or corrected claims, so it is linked and classified rather than treated as new.
Every request is evaluated, not a sample — and always before the credit memo is issued.

Decisions that drive business outcomes

Every recommendation the agent makes — valid, invalid, duplicate, resubmission, or investigate — is documented in the log with its evidence attached. A person makes the call and issues the credit.

It recommends. People decide. The agent never issues a credit memo, rejects a claim, or makes a commitment to a wholesaler. It reads. It never changes your data. It works from business transactions already flowing over your network link. Your ERP and contract management system stay the systems of record. Everything is on the record. Every recommendation, its evidence, and the decision that followed are written to the Chargeback Validation Decision Log — reproducible for an auditor months later.
Captured decisions become the intelligence your experts use to refine the agent’s rules.

04 Collaborate

The work is performed

The agent can start a shared process collaboration: it brings its evidence, your chargeback analyst owns the decision, and the wholesaler answers in the same thread. One process running across two companies — not an email chain that ends in someone's inbox.

The agent raises the chargeback incident, attaches the price authorization and claim history, and proposes the disposition. The chargeback analyst owns the exception, decides what to credit, and speaks for your company. The wholesaler responds in the same process, on the network — no portal to log into, no re-keying.
The wholesaler's answer comes back onto the request, so the credit decision your team makes next is based on a settled fact rather than an assumption.

Everything the solution includes

This is a complete Agentic Business Process — the agent, the business transactions it reasons over, the collaborative processes that resolve exceptions across companies, and the visibility to run it all.

Chargeback Validation Analyst The governed OPUS Agent that acts as a digital co-worker, checking for duplicates and validating line items against active contract terms.
Business transactions Price authorization acknowledgement, chargeback request and response, and credit/debit adjustment documents standardized across every wholesaler.
Collaborative processes Cross-company chargeback incident workflows for resolving exceptions, plus the decision log.
Agentic Control Tower Where trade operations teams monitor process health, prioritize exceptions, and review agent sessions.
Reports & dashboards Real-time chargeback visibility, from price authorization through request, response, credit memo, and settlement.

Value that compounds with every chargeback

100% Validation coverage — every chargeback line checked, not a sample
1.5–3% Reduction in margin lost to unauthorized pricing and duplicate credits
~80% Lower cost to process each chargeback line
90% Faster exception resolution, with every decision on the record

Target ranges for the Chargeback Validation Analyst, pending your business value analysis. Your figures are baselined against your own transaction data during the Agentic Accelerator Program, so the business case is demonstrated against your own operation.

One agent. A complete operating model behind it.

The Chargeback Validation Analyst is the Agentic Supply Chain Operating Model in action — one governed OPUS Agent within the transformation TraceLink powers, where human expertise and agentic work combine across the end-to-end supply network.

Every layer is configured around your own operating model, business rules, and standard operating procedures. No custom software development.

01 Agentic Supply Chain Operating Model The transformation itself: a way of running supply chain operations where human teams and governed OPUS Agents work together across the end-to-end supply chain.
02 Agentic Supply Chain Operating System The software foundation that powers the operating model. Powered by the OPUS Platform, it is where you create, deploy, govern, and scale specialized OPUS Agents that work alongside your people.
03 Agentic Business Processes The work model: human teams and governed OPUS Agents performing operational work together through shared objectives, rules, and measurable outcomes. Chargeback management is one of many.
04 Agentic Control Towers The intelligence environment: the knowledge, reasoning, and operational context humans and OPUS Agents use to monitor, manage, decide, and perform work in real time.
05 Integrate-Once™ Agentic Business Network The governed multienterprise foundation: link once to the network and exchange trusted business transactions with every trading partner — no point-to-point integrations.

Three ways to get here. One is already built.

The AI models are available to everyone. The difference is where the agent's evidence and governance come from — and who has to build and maintain them.

Path one Build it in-house Point-to-point integrations to every trading partner have to exist before the agent can see a single chargeback request — built and funded by you alone. Governance, audit trails, and validation for a regulated supply chain are designed from scratch. Every partner change, format change, and policy change lands on your team’s backlog — permanently. Years of platform work before the first chargeback is validated.
Path two A general AI platform Strong models and tooling — but no knowledge of your industry’s transactions, partners, or processes. Cross-company data is still sourced, mapped, and maintained integration by integration. Governance is a consulting engagement: scope, rules, and audit design built for you over time. A platform to build on — the supply chain part is still your project.
The TraceLink path Agentic Business Process The network already exists: 315,000+ authenticated businesses, 339,000+ active supply chain links, hundreds of billions of annual supply chain exchanges, one Integrate-Once™ link. Governance is native — scope, rules, guardrails, and decision logs on trusted, certified infrastructure (ISO/IEC 42001:2023 for AI management systems, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II) built for regulated supply chains. The agent is purpose-built for this process and defined in business language — configuration, not code. Proven against your own chargebacks through the Agentic Accelerator Program — before you deploy.

The Agentic Accelerator Program

A structured path from discovery to production. Each stage has a clear owner and exit criteria: we define the agent with your team, quantify the value against your own transaction data, and demonstrate the transformed process end to end — so the deployment decision is grounded in evidence from your own operation.

01 Agent Definition Configure the agent’s profile, business logic, and workflows against the approved blueprint.
02 Business Value Analysis Quantify KPI impact, operational gains, and ROI against your own transaction data.
03 Proof of Value The working agent performs the transformed process end to end, in front of your team.
04 Proposal Deployment recommendation, scope, roadmap, and an outcome-based commercial model.
05 Deployment Production at scale, across your full trading-partner network.
