Dropped $500 on a credit scoring algorithm for my small business

I paid $500 for some algorithmic credit scoring tool to screen new customers for my landscaping company in Austin. It flagged a guy with a 620 score as high risk, but he paid cash upfront and referred three neighbors. Was that money just a tax write-off or did I miss something important with these systems?

Paid $400 for one that flagged my own lawn guy. He still works for me.

Honestly, these algorithms just can't figure out real life.
