Scenario

U+ Bank is currently doing cross sell on the web by showing various credit cards to its customers. Due to the credit limits of each card, the business wants to create a Suitability criterion:

  • Any of the credit cards are suitable for customers with a credit score greater than or equal to 300; otherwise the bank considers them likely to default.

The credit score value is computed by the Scorecard rule Determine Credit Score, which computes customer credit scores and then segments the results into Suitable and Not Suitable.

Caution: This challenge is built on the challenge "Building a scorecard to calculate the credit score". Hence when you click on Initialize Pega or Reset Instance in this challenge, you first need to complete the previous challenge.

Your assignment consists of the following tasks:

Task 1: Create a decision strategy to implement the Suitability rule

Any credit card is suitable only if the customer’s credit score is greater than or equal to 300.

Note: Use the existing Scorecard rule Determine Credit Score, which computes customer credit scores and segments the results into Suitable and Not Suitable.

Task 2: Make the decision strategy accessible in Next-Best-Action Designer

Add the decision strategy as relevant record in DEV STUDIO such that it is accessible in Next-Best-Action Designer.

Note: To access DEV STUDIO, log in as Decisioning Administrator.

Task 3: Define a Group-level Suitability rule

Define the Engagement Policy with the newly created strategy as a Group-level Suitability rule

Task 4: Confirm your work

Verify whether customers Troy and John are suitable for credit card offers per their Scorecard results and credit score.

Use the information in the following table for verification.

Scorecard Results

Credit Score

Troy

John

Note:  When testing the decision strategy, for external input, use the AllCreditCards strategy, which outputs all available credit card offers.
