# Evidence Review

Decisionly uses AI to analyze your cases and determine whether they meet the network guidelines for chargebacks. For background on how representment and evidence work, see [What Are Disputes?](/guide#merchant-disputes).

## How Evidence Review Works

When you file a non-fraud case, Decisionly performs two types of AI-powered analysis:

### Documentation Review

Analyzes uploaded evidence files to determine if they're relevant and valid for the case. Each file is reviewed to check:

* Is the document related to the disputed transaction?
* Does it support the dispute reason?
* Is the document clear and readable?

Files marked as invalid don't prevent filing by default, but indicate the evidence may not support the chargeback.

### Conditions Review

Analyzes case details and evidence to determine if evidence guidelines are met. The AI checks:

* Whether all chargeback conditions are satisfied
* Which conditions were detected as met
* Which chargeback conditions were not detected

This analysis is informational by default and doesn't prevent filing. However, filing a chargeback without meeting evidence guidelines may result in the merchant successfully disputing it.

## Workflow Rules

You can configure [workflow rules](/workflow-rules) to control how cases are handled based on AI analysis results. The workflow rules to set up are **Evidence Review Passed** and **Documentation Valid**.

**Evidence Review Passed** determines whether a case meets all evidence guidelines for its dispute reason. You could use this rule to **flag for review** when evidence guidelines are not met.

**Documentation Valid** determines whether uploaded evidence files are relevant and valid. You could use this rule to **flag for review** when documentation is marked as invalid.

## Dispute Reason Conditions

Each dispute reason has specific conditions that should be met to file a valid chargeback with the card network. The AI analyzes your case details and evidence to determine which conditions are satisfied.
