  • Key drivers for adopting CDEs: speed, consistency, scalability, cost reduction.
  • Overview of real-time scoring tools and their impact on customer experience.
  • Course objectives and an outline of the modules.

Architecture of Credit Decision Engines

  • Core components of a CDE: data ingestion layer, rule engine, scoring engine, decision output.
  • Integration points: CRM, LOS, LMS, credit bureaus, alternative data providers.
  • API-driven connectivity for seamless data flow.
  • Scalability and performance considerations for high-volume transactions.
  • Cloud-native vs. on-premise deployment strategies.

Rule-Based Decisioning and Policy Management

  • Designing and implementing business rules for credit decisions.
  • Rule types: eligibility rules, policy rules, anti-fraud rules, pricing rules.
  • Decision tables and decision trees for complex logic.
  • Rule management systems (BRMS) for version control and auditing.
  • Testing and validating rule sets for accuracy and consistency.

Real-Time Credit Scoring Methodologies

  • Leveraging traditional credit bureau scores in real-time.
  • Integrating alternative data sources for instant credit assessment (e.g., bank statements, transactional data).
  • Machine Learning models for real-time predictive scoring.
  • Model deployment and inference for low-latency decisions.
  • Challenges of data freshness and streaming data in real-time scoring.

Data Integration for Decision Engines

  • Strategies for efficient and secure data ingestion from internal and external sources.
  • Data quality checks and transformation for decisioning.
  • Designing data pipelines for real-time data feeds.
  • Managing consent for accessing consumer data (e.g., Open Banking APIs).
  • Data governance and compliance for decisioning data.

Machine Learning Model Integration and Management

  • Deploying pre-trained ML models into the decision engine.
  • Model monitoring: tracking performance, drift detection, and re-calibration.
  • Explainable AI (XAI) techniques for understanding ML-driven decisions.
  • A/B testing and champion/challenger strategies for model optimization.
  • MLOps principles for managing the lifecycle of credit scoring models.

Optimizing Decisions and Business Value

  • Strategies for balancing risk appetite with conversion rates and customer experience.
  • Dynamic pricing and offer generation based on real-time scores.
  • Personalization of loan products and terms.
  • Streamlining the customer journey: reducing friction and abandonment rates.
  • Measuring the ROI and impact of automated decisioning.

Governance, Compliance, and Future Trends

  • Establishing clear governance frameworks for decision engines and models.
