10 Managing Evaluations
Evaluations are logical comparisons against conditions that result in a score.
The essential evaluation types are listed below:
- Condition Evaluations: These can be checks against literals or against other
attributes.
For example:
- If the Transaction Origination Country is “Nigeria”, then 10 points.
- If the Transaction Origination Country is in High Risk Countries List, then 10 points.
These can involve other logical expressions for evaluating multiple conditions.
- Profile Comparison: These are not materially different than the condition
evaluations. One of the things that can be on the right side of the equation is the
profile check.
For example:
- If the Transaction Amount is > High Risk Country Transactions 75th Percentile Amount then 10 points.
- Value Lookups: These evaluations use a dimensional table where the attribute values
lead to a score that we lookup. This may not necessarily be a separate evaluation
type, but rather a mechanism for getting the associated points. For example, the
Conditional Checks evaluation could be an evaluation that awards points from a
table, but only for transactions originated in Nigeria.
For example:
- If the Transaction Origination Country is 'Nigeria', then points based on High Risk Countries List using Transaction Origination Country.
For example, the evaluation only applies to Nigeria. If that was left out, the evaluation could simply be the following:
- Get points based on High Risk Countries List using Transaction Origination
Country.
Through Evaluations, you can add a new evaluation and also search for existing evaluations for modification or removing an evaluation.
