Scenario

U+ Bank is currently doing cross-sell on the web by showing various credit cards to its customers.

They want to run a value finder simulation to check if there are any under engaged customers and customer with no actions to serve them better.

Use the following credentials to log in to the exercise system:

Role	User name	Password
Decisioning Analyst	CDHAnalyst	rules

Your assignment consists of the following tasks:

Task 1: Prepare data set for simulation run

Run the PrepareSampledCustomers_REF data flow to prepare the data set for the simulation run.

Note: The Sampled Customers is not available in a persisted store. To initialize the customer data, first run the PrepareSampledCustomers_REF data flow.

Task 2: Create and execute a value finder simulation

Create and execute a value finder simulation for the Sales issue and Creditcards group. Use the Sampled Customers data set as the audience.

Task 3: Inspect the simulation results

Inspect the result of the simulation by answering the following questions.

How many customers are under-served due to the eligibility conditions?
What percentage of customers are well-served in the first Customer group from the Under-served customers after eligibility category?
How many customers are left without actions after every engagement policy condition is applied?

Detailed Tasks

1 Prepare data set for simulation run

Log in as Decisioning Analyst with username CDHAnalyst and password rules.
In the navigation pane of Pega Customer Decision Hub, click Data > Data Flows.
Search for and then open the PrepareSampledCustomers_REF data flow to prepare the data set used for simulations. This data is based on a Monte Carlo dataset, which is generated.
Note: The Monte Carlo data set generates a mock data set. As a result, different simulation runs have different results.

Click Actions > Run.
Note: Notice that the prospect data is populated once the test run is complete.
Close the data flow Test run window.

2 Create and execute a value finder simulation

In the navigation pane of Pega Customer Decision Hub, click Discovery > Value Finder.
Click Create new to create a new value finder simulation.
In the Create simulation dialog box, configure the following information.
1. Find opportunities for: Issue: Sales and Group: Creditcards
2. Audience: Sampled Customers
3. Simulation ID prefix: Value Finder
Click Run to execute the simulation. Once the run is complete, the results are displayed.
Note: The Monte Carlo data set generates a mock data set. Therefore, different simulation runs will have different results.

3 Inspect the simulation results

On the left, note the number of Without actions, Under-served, and Well-served customer distribution in the pie chart.

Question: How many customers are under-served due to the eligibility conditions?

On the right, note the three Top opportunities are identified by the system for the current engagement policy conditions configured.
Note: The top opportunities help you identify at what stage the customers are filtered out from receiving an action.

Tip: 223 customers are under-served due to eligibility conditions.

Question: What percentage of customers are well-served in the first Customer group from the Under-served customers after eligibility category?

In the Under-served customers after eligibility section, inspect the information to understand the recommendation and the top discovered customer groups identified by the system. Note the number of customers filtered-out per customer group.

Tip: The accuracy of the first customer group “A” is 89.8%. Hence the percentagr of well-served customers in group A is 100 - 89.8 = 10.2%.

On the right, click Manage Descriptive fields to view the fields used by the system to categorize the customers into different groups.

Question: How many customers are left without actions after every engagement policy condition is applied?

On the left, in the Customer categories > WITHOUT ACTIONS section, click Suitability to view the second top opportunity recommendations of the system.

Tip: The total number of customers without any action after every engagement policy condition is applied are 12 (Eligibiity) + 0 (Applicability) + 271 (Suitability) = 283.
