Beginner Pega Customer Decision Hub 8.8 English

Scenario

U+ Bank implements Pega Customer Decision Hub™ to personalize the credit card offer a customer is presented on their website. If a customer is eligible for multiple offers, artificial intelligence (AI) decides which offer to show.

To customers that are likely to leave the bank soon, the bank wants to make a proactive retention offer instead of a credit card offer. The bank has recorded historical churn data for its customer base, which a data scientist used to create a churn model. You create a prediction that is driven by the churn model. This prediction can then be used by a decisioning architect in an engagement strategy.

Your assignment consists of the following tasks:

Task 1: Create a new prediction

As a data scientist, create a new prediction to calculate churn risk.

Task 2: Replace the scorecard with the churn model in the new prediction

Replace the placeholder scorecard with the ChurnPML model from the Model list in the new prediction.

 

You must initiate your own Pega instance to complete this Challenge.

Initialization may take up to 5 minutes so please be patient.
