The problem
Marketplace scale arrives before the trust and safety infrastructure does. Moderation and fraud become existential just as the team has the least slack to build for them. Meanwhile, decisions rest on data nobody fully trusts.
The approach
Build the detection systems and the data foundation together. Moderation calls, fraud calls and the business metrics then draw on the same trusted substrate instead of diverging.
