Scenario
U+ Bank is cross-selling on the web by showing various credit cards to its customers. However, an increase in interest rates caused an economic slowdown. As a result, the bank decides to announce a festive offer to all customers who are likely to bring in the most revenue to help create demand in the slowing economy.
U+ Bank introduces a new offer that promises 15 percent cashback to customers with a credit score of over 700. The bank also wants to promote this offer at its best by giving it a business weight of 75 percent.
Note: The value for this business lever is set at this stage for this challenge so that the offer is displayed on the U+ website first. The typical use case for a business lever is if the business wants to make a specific offer a priority.
