How to shortlist

For web account abuse, begin with products that link users and devices across sessions. For native mobile journeys, prioritize an up-to-date SDK and test device and location permission behavior. For traffic floods and scraping, evaluate an edge or bot mitigation product. For a narrow enrichment task, an IP or browser API may be enough. Then use the parallel test plan to compare outcomes and total costs.
