OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Postdata to accomplish?

• The project aimed to build a credit scoring model that predicts the likelihood of loan defaults specifically in the Romanian market. The goal was to improve financial decision-making by assessing potential risk for lenders more accurately. By predicting default risks, the model could help optimize loan approval processes, reduce the likelihood of losses, and guide more informed lending strategies, ultimately supporting better risk management and increasing the profitability and stability of the financial institution involved.

Data Preprocessing
To ensure the model’s accuracy and robustness, key data preprocessing strategies were implemented:

• Handling missing values.
• Filtering continuous features based on missing value thresholds.
• Generating new features to improve predictive power.   

Solution

• Model Selection: LightGBM was chosen due to its efficiency with large datasets and gradient boosting capabilities, ideal for credit scoring.
• Hyperparameter Tuning: Bayesian Optimization was applied to tune hyperparameters for improved accuracy and faster training.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Results:

• Expected Performance: The goal was to achieve a GINI score over 45 and an AUC over 70%, ensuring that the model could distinguish defaulting borrowers from non-defaulting ones with a high degree of confidence.
• Actual Performance: The model achieved a GINI score around 40 and an AUC of approximately 70%, which was slightly below the expected target but still within a reasonable range for further refinement. This indicates the model was performing well, but additional data or fine-tuning could further enhance its accuracy.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the lead of strategic partnerships for a data science platform company. We try to automate as much data science as possible.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Postdata?

We needed someone to build proof of concept (POC) solutions for our platform. We wanted to develop solutions with real marketable value.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Postdata developed a custom recommendation engine on our platform. They used Python to build the solution, which was an Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML) model. They developed everything from scratch.

What is the team composition?

We worked closely with two senior team members. I don’t know if there were more people involved.

How did you come to work with Postdata?

I found them on Clutch.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from July–September 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Postdata executed the project in about a month; they were fast and professional. Moreover, they did an excellent job with the solution. The team delivered a well-rounded and fully-functioning product. The nature of their submission was premium quality; the documentation was superior and impeccable, and they captured everything.

How did Postdata perform from a project management standpoint?

They were particular about their work every step of the way. However, the communication was top-notch. We communicated via email, phone calls, and mostly Slack.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The one thing that stood out was the quality and presentation of their work.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They didn’t overcharge, but they could’ve been more flexible with their pricing structure. Additionally, they were more particular about project management than necessary. I felt they were too systematic, although that could be nice for some companies.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Spend more time upfront setting out the expectations and value proposition to ensure their decision-makers understand them. Once they know the value proposition, they set out to deliver the best. Since they’re meticulous about their project management, they’ll deliver just what you ask. Therefore, set a larger vision and guide them; if you start asking small, they’ll deliver small.
