What should I do with the Risk Assessment value?

For APPROVE value, it means the order has been successfully validated with FraudLabs Pro engine with no suspicious fraud trait found. Please take note that, this information is only valuable if you have the proper validation rules configured on FraudLabs Pro merchant area. For instance, the system will return you the APPROVE status by default if you have no validation rules configured.

For the REVIEW and REJECT order, you may want to review the validation details returned by FraudLabs Pro to decide if you want to accept or reject the order.

Is the Risk Assessment value determine the Magento status?
