# Get transaction verdict

> Retrieve the Watch evaluation result for a transaction: final verdict, risk score, and reason.

<Note>Blnk Watch is currently in beta. [Send us a message](mailto:support@blnkfinance.com)</Note>

Use this to check if/how a transaction was classified and why.

It returns the Watch evaluation result for a transaction—the consolidated verdict, risk score, and reason produced after rules are evaluated.

### Path

<ParamField path="transaction_id" type="string" required>
  The transaction ID to retrieve the verdict for.

### Response fields

The transaction object mirrors the fields you sent on [inject](/watch/reference/inject-transaction). After evaluation completes, `meta_data` includes the verdict details:

<ResponseField name="meta_data.dsl_verdicts" type="array">
  Per-rule evaluation results. Each item includes `rule_id`, `verdict`, `score`, and `reason`.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="meta_data.consolidated_risk_assessment" type="object">
  Aggregated risk assessment across all matched rules.

  <Expandable title="Assessment properties">
    <ResponseField name="final_risk_score" type="number">
      Consolidated risk score between `0` and `1`, averaged from matched rule scores.
    </ResponseField>

    <ResponseField name="final_verdict" type="string">
      Final decision: `allow`, `review`, or `block`. Scores at or above `0.7` map to `block`; lower matched scores default to `review`.
    </ResponseField>

    <ResponseField name="final_reason" type="string">
      Combined reasons from all matched rules, joined with `;`.
    </ResponseField>

    <ResponseField name="source_count" type="integer">
      Number of rules that matched and contributed to the assessment.
    </ResponseField>
  </Expandable>
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="meta_data.evaluation_status" type="string">
  Set to `completed` once Watch has finished evaluating the transaction.
</ResponseField>
