Tutorial: Create a risk model for an individual based on their age

The risk calculation for a product application is configured through the Policy Builder.

In this tutorial, we will create a sample risk model for product applications by individuals. Applications are assigned a risk level as follows:

  • Low risk: The risk score is calculated as below 50.

  • Medium risk: The risk score calculated is from 50 to 100.

  • High risk: The risk score is calculated as above or equal to 100.

The risk score is calculated based on the Age risk factor as follows:

  • Individuals under 18 years of age have their risk score increased by 100.

  • Individuals from 50 to 64 years of age have their risk score increased by 50.

  • Individuals 65 years old or greater have their risk score increased by 100.

To configure the risk model for this scenario:

  1. Open the Policy Builder and select Risk management from the side menu.

    Risk management menu option in the Policy Builder side menu.
  2. Select Add new risk model and then Individual risk model.

  3. Enter a name for the risk model.
