Zoral Model Library
“If it were just a question of credit scoring then everyone would have solved the problem by now...”
Whenever people consider models in the context of credit they usually think of credit scores or default probability. These are important measures and useful, but they are only a small part of the picture. You need to know far more if you want to provide digital products, achieve good results and intelligently automate the process. This is why Zoral created Zoral ML. It comprises a large range of models, covering the entire customer lifecycle. It contains over 300 man-years of research, development and global deployment.
Answering questions
As leads flow into your system and customers arrive, you need to answer intelligently, key questions such as,
- do we want to purchase or process this lead?
- which product should we sell?
- what is the probability of fraud?
- what is the probability of default?
- when might those issues occur?
- If the customer defaults, how likely are we to collect?
- what is the customer life time value?
- should we underwrite this business?
- how should we price it?
- what limits should we apply?
- have we fully checked affordability?
- how do we optimize conversion?
- how likely is the customer to churn?
- how should we adapt the customer journey to optimize the above?
- if accepted, what does customer on-going behavior tell us?
- what are the next best actions?
- should we offer the customer additional products?
- when, how should we contact the customer?
- and many others.
To do this requires a profound understanding of all, applicable data sources and how/when they can be used. Much of this can only come with experience. This experience is contained in Zoral ML.
There is no “silver bullet”
Also, there is no “silver bullet:, i.e. a single model or set of models that can solve the above. To do this requires a combination of techniques, e.g.
- statistical
- linear
- non-linear
- artificially intelligent
- machine learning
- ensembling
- collaborative
- boosting
- NLP
- etc.
Zoral ML contains all of these.
Nothing stays the same
Things don’t stand still. Market demographics, consumer behavior, competitive response, fraud techniques, data quality etc., evolve over time. Models that performed well a few months ago, might start to deteriorate. To maintain stability and adapt, an automated system needs to be self monitoring, learning and alerting automatically as things change. Zoral ML was deigned from the outset to do this.
Data changes too
Today there are a huge range of data sources available. This is helpful, but...
- quality can rapidly change
- real-time availability can vary
- not all data is needed in every instance, (e.g. some sources are expensive and not always required)
Zoral ML manages all of this.
