How Pavelinox Works
Every number on your report traces back to a named framework, a public dataset, and a formula you can read below — nothing is a black box.
The Six Math Frameworks
One run through the full analysis exercises all six.
Exposure Scoring
A 0-100 composite score from the PII categories exposed in your profile (SSN, financial accounts, email/password, DOB+address, medical records, phone), weighted by the fraud types each one enables, then scaled by your account count and credit utilization.
Recovery Cost Estimation
Per-fraud-type expected cost = direct loss + resolution hours × your hourly wage + credit-damage cost from a higher APR on revolving balances + legal fees, using FTC Consumer Sentinel and ITRC population averages by fraud type.
Credit Freeze ROI
A freeze is free and blocks ~95% of new-account fraud. We net that avoided risk against the time cost of lifting the freeze for real applications (2-4 lifts/year) to show the dollar value of having one active.
Monitoring Cost-Benefit
10-year NPV of each paid monitoring service (LifeLock, Aura, IdentityForce) versus free self-monitoring, crediting only the marginal insurance value above what your credit cards' zero-liability policies already cover.
Insurance Gap Analysis
Compares your homeowner/renter rider, a standalone policy, and monitoring-plan insurance to find real coverage gaps — and flags double coverage so you can drop a duplicate.
Recovery Timeline Modeling
Detection, dispute, and resolution phases per fraud type (1 month for existing-account fraud to 24 months for synthetic identity), plus a FICO score recovery curve calibrated to published benchmarks.
Data Sources
Every source is free and public. No paid data licenses, no proprietary panels.
API Access
Every framework above is also available over HTTP for insurance agencies, financial advisors, and cybersecurity firms.
