§ 02 The method

How the pack is built.

Every step optimized to surface signal that's both real and commercially actionable.

  1. Source. Federal court records via the CourtListener RECAP API. Public-record. No scraped Reddit, no anonymous reviews, no inferred ownership.
  2. Filter. Cases where a corporate plaintiff is in active dispute with Stripe, PayPal, Square, Shopify Payments, or Adyen. Patent trolls and ADA-mill suits removed.
  3. Review. Each case read by a human (me) before it enters a pack. No purely automated output.
  4. Deliver. CSV with merchant, processor, case number, court, filing date, nature of suit, and direct docket URL. Verifiable in one click.
§ 03 Who buys this

Built for the four parties merchants in dispute already want to talk to.

A merchant suing their processor is either about to leave or already looking. These are the buyers most likely to act.

ISO / Agent
Independent sales offices recruiting new merchants.
Highest-intent "ready to switch" signal a merchant ever sends.
High-Risk Processor
Acquirers built for merchants other processors won't keep.
Cases name the original processor — you're seeing the leak point.
Merchant Cash Advance
Capital providers underwriting against processing volume.
Dispute filings precede revenue disruption. Early warning + early loan opportunity.
Chargeback / Dispute Firm
Services that resolve the underlying processor conflict.
Reach the merchant during the active dispute window — when they need you most.
§ 04 Terms & questions

Plain answers before you pay.

Where does the data actually come from?

The PACER federal court records system, accessed via the CourtListener RECAP API operated by Free Law Project. Every case is a real federal filing; every docket URL on this page points to the primary source. You can verify any case before paying.

How fresh are the cases?

This pack draws from cases filed 2024–2026 with a median age of approximately nine months. New federal filings against the named processors continue weekly; the next monthly pack will include the most recent disputes plus refreshed older ones still active.

What exactly do I get?

A single CSV file with 25 rows. Each row includes the merchant business name (as filed), the processor named in the dispute, the case number, court, date filed, nature of suit (where indicated), and a direct docket URL for verification. Delivered via email within 24 hours of payment confirmation.

Is this exclusive?

No. The pilot pack is non-exclusive — the same 25 leads may be sold to multiple buyers in this volume. Exclusivity by vertical or processor is available at a separate price for committed subscribers. Ask after you've validated the pack.

What if the leads aren't actionable?

Reply within thirty days of delivery, name three cases your team couldn't act on, and the full $199 is refunded. The data is public-record and verifiable in advance, so this happens rarely — but the option exists.

Can I get this monthly?

Yes. Monthly batches refresh the corpus and add new filings. Pricing is separate from the pilot pack; mention monthly delivery in your reply after the first pack and a custom invoice follows.

Is reselling the leads commercializable on my side?

The underlying court records are public domain — your use of the data within your own merchant outreach or underwriting workflow is unrestricted. Resale to third parties is not licensed under the pilot pack tier.

§ 05 About
— Condarius Marbury

I built Intel because I was already pulling these records to run merchant outreach for an earlier project, and realized the ISO and processor side wanted the data more than the merchants did.

Sole operator. No team, no investors, no PR cycle. Each pack is hand-reviewed by me before it ships. Replies go directly to my inbox.
