AI revenue recovery for Razorpay merchants

When a payment fails, decide what happens next.

RecoveryOS diagnoses the cause, proposes one bounded action, lets deterministic policy approve or stop it, and follows the payment to a verified outcome.

  • Cause-aware diagnosis
  • Deterministic guardrails
  • Auditable outcomes

Why RecoveryOS

Not a retry bot. A recovery control plane.

01

Understand the failure

A gateway timeout, an authentication failure, and a merchant error should not receive the same recovery action.

02

Separate advice from authority

The model recommends. Policy can approve, delay, replace, escalate, or stop before any tool runs.

03

Measure incremental recovery

Every outcome is compared with no intervention and naive retry, then written to an audit trail.

How it works

One loop. Six explicit handoffs.

Each handoff has a named owner, a narrow responsibility, and an audit event.

  1. 01Razorpay + API
    Detect

    A signed failure or labelled synthetic case becomes one durable recovery record.

  2. 02Recovery engine
    Diagnose

    Deterministic code classifies the failure from method, reason, and history.

  3. 03OpenAI proposal
    Propose

    The model returns one structured recommendation from read-only case facts.

  4. 04Policy engine
    Guard

    Policy checks consent, limits, cooldowns, duplicates, and payment state.

  5. 05Approved tools
    Execute

    Only an approved tool can create a silent Test Mode Payment Link or wait.

  6. 06Provider + audit
    Verify

    Provider state is rechecked and written to the audit timeline.

One recovery operating model

Many recovery moments. One control plane.

Different revenue leaks need different interventions. They still share the same accountable path from signal to verified outcome.

  1. 01Signals

    Know what slipped

    Razorpay events and merchant-selected recovery opportunities enter one durable case model.

  2. 02Intelligence

    Choose with context

    Deterministic diagnosis and a read-only AI proposal turn context into one explainable next step.

  3. 03Authority

    Let policy decide

    Consent, limits, cooldowns, duplicates, and current payment state decide what is actually allowed.

  4. 04Outcome

    Prove what happened

    Approved tools act, provider truth is rechecked, and every handoff lands in the audit timeline.

Merchant surfaces

A control room built for decisions.

Start with money at risk, move into one explainable decision, then inspect every event that produced the outcome.

Case timeline

Every decision stays auditable.

The operator can see the evidence, recommendation, authorization, execution, and verified provider outcome in one place.

Safety boundary

AI can propose. It cannot move money.

The model can recommend wait, a Payment Link, escalation, or stop. It cannot move money, contact customers, write durable state, or bypass merchant policy.

  • No payment tools
  • No database writes
  • No messaging access
  • Policy has final say

Advice and authority remain separate by design.

Evidence

Two kinds of evidence. Both clearly labelled.

Live Test Mode proof and the frozen batch comparison stay separate. Neither is real merchant revenue.
