Validating an idea for automated Stripe dispute defense — does this pain resonate with you?

I’m exploring a simple idea called RefundGuard, and before building anything real, I’m trying to understand whether other founders run into the same pain I see.

Many Stripe disputes aren’t lost because the customer is right — they’re lost because:

the dispute email gets buried

gathering logs/evidence takes too long

founders respond late

evidence is weak or incomplete

I put together a basic concept page to test if this problem is worth solving:

🔗 https://refundguard.vercel.app

It’s not a product yet — just a validation page to measure interest.
If you deal with Stripe disputes or refund abuse, I’d really appreciate:

whether this problem is actually painful for you

how you currently handle disputes

if automation here feels valuable or unnecessary

Not trying to sell anything — just trying to avoid building something nobody wants.

Thanks to anyone willing to share experience.

    Cool! But where's the sweet spot? Is there a specific industry where companies face disputes more often than others?
