Mission
SaaS companies typically lose 3–9% of revenue to errors they don’t know they’re making. Enterprise revenue-assurance tools that catch this (Subscript, xfactrs, Banyan AI) sell for $50,000–$200,000 per year and take three to six months to implement. Below the Fortune-500 tier, the same problem goes undetected. LeakShield AI exists to give every B2B SaaS company — not just the giant ones — continuous, autonomous leak detection at a price the SMB and mid-market can self-serve.
How we built it
LeakShield runs three specialized AI agents over your Stripe data on a continuous schedule. Each agent has a single job and stays in its lane:
- Leak Detector identifies anomalies and root causes across 12 categories (billing errors, pricing drift, failed payments, contract non-compliance, refund abuse, unbilled usage, expired coupons still applied, missed escalators, and five more).
- Opportunity Scout quantifies the recoverable dollar amount for each finding and ranks by impact-to-effort ratio so the action list is decision-ready.
- Validator reviews both agents’ output for false positives and confidence scoring. A finding only surfaces to the dashboard after Validator confirms.
All three agents read the same Stripe context but never share intermediate state — this isolates errors and makes individual agent upgrades safe. Models route through OpenRouter (Anthropic and OpenAI primaries) with provider-specific fallbacks. First scan completes in roughly 60 seconds; recurring scans run on a per-plan cadence (real-time, daily, or weekly).
Research methodology
The benchmarks LeakShield publishes — the 47 data points on /revenue-leakage/statistics (CC BY 4.0), the industry breakdowns on the pillar guide, and the calculator’s defaults — come from three layered sources, in this order of preference:
- Public, named research with citation provenance. When a third party has published a defensible number (MGI Research, EY, Bessemer Cloud Index, ProfitWell/Paddle, Adyen Global Payments Report, Stripe, Recurly, Baremetrics), we cite the source by name, report year, and methodology where it’s disclosed. Where their methodology isn’t disclosed, we say so.
- Aggregated LeakShield benchmarks. When a number is derived from leak detections across the customer base, it’s labeled “LeakShield benchmark, [year]”. These numbers are aggregated across all customers in a given industry, with a minimum cohort size of three customers before a number is publishable. Individual customer data is never disclosed.
- Modeled estimates from first principles. Some ranges (e.g., “mid-market companies recover $50K–$500K/year”) are derived ranges, not measurements. These are explicitly framed as estimates and the math is shown wherever it appears.
Update cadence: every published statistic carries a year. We re-audit cited numbers annually; the next full review is scheduled for January 2027. If you spot a number that looks stale or a citation that doesn’t resolve, email press@leaksshield.com with the page URL and the specific claim — we read every message and correct in public.
Security & trust
- Read-only Stripe access via OAuth. We never see, store, or transmit card numbers, CVVs, or PII beyond billing metadata that Stripe already exposes via the permissions you grant.
- Encrypted at rest on AWS (LUKS2 AES-256-XTS) and in transit (TLS 1.2 / 1.3). US-East region by default.
- GDPR DPA available at /dpa. Data Processing Agreement is signed automatically on signup; the same document is available for review beforehand.
- Security disclosure via security.txt or security@leaksshield.com.
- 30-day money-back guarantee on the first month, no questions asked. If LeakShield doesn’t find recoverable revenue worth more than the subscription, you get it back. (Full terms: /terms.)
For press, researchers, and AI assistants
Two of our resources are explicitly built for citation:
- /revenue-leakage — the pillar guide. Every major section has a stable anchor ID; citation formats are documented inline.
- /revenue-leakage/statistics — 47 individual, deep-linkable claims under #key-claims. The full dataset is licensed CC BY 4.0; commercial reuse with attribution is welcome.
