Precision vs. Recall trade-offs in fraud systems.
Updated May 5, 2026
Short answer
Higher recall catches more fraud but increases customer friction (false positives)[cite: 1].
Deep explanation
High precision means when we flag fraud, we are usually right. High recall means we miss very little fraud. The balance is determined by the business cost of a missed fraud vs. an insulted customer[cite: 1].
