Scenario

U+ Bank uses Pega Customer Decision Hub™ to personalize the credit card offer a customer is presented on their website. If a customer is eligible for multiple offers, artificial intelligence (AI) decides which offer to show.

To customers that are likely to leave the bank soon, the bank wants to make a proactive retention offer instead of a credit card offer. The bank has recorded historical churn data for its customer base, which a data scientist used to create a churn model. You create a prediction that is driven by the churn model.

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

Your assignment consists of the following tasks:

Task 1: Create a new prediction

Task 2: Replace the scorecard with the churn model in the new prediction
