Scenario

U+ Bank is currently cross-selling 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:

  • Credit cards are suitable for customers with a credit score greater than or equal to 600; otherwise, the bank considers them likely to default.

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

Use the following credentials to log in to the exercise system:

Role User name Password
Decisioning Architect DecisioningArchitect rules

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 credit score of the customer is greater than or equal to 600.

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: Test the decision strategy

Test the decision strategy to confirm that Barbara is suitable to get the offer and Robert is not suitable.

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 Barbara and Robert are suited for credit card offers based on scorecard results and credit scores.

Use the information in the following table for verification.

Customer

Scorecard results

Credit score

Barbara

Suitable

700

Robert

Not Suitable

550

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