Business Summary Report: Predictive
Insights for Collections Strategy
1. Summary of Predictive Insights
Based on the EDA (Task 1) and the predictive modeling plan (Task 2), the following insights
were observed:
- Customers under 30 years old with two or more missed payments and credit utilization
above 50% show significantly higher risk of delinquency.
- High debt-to-income ratio (> 0.5) consistently correlates with late or missed payments.
- Customers with short account tenure (< 12 months) tend to have weaker repayment
behavior.

delinquency.
2. Recommendation Framework
Restated Insight:
Customers under 30 with 2+ missed payments and credit utilization above 50% are at
significantly high risk of delinquency.
Proposed Recommendation:
Launch a 6-week SMS outreach campaign targeting these customers to reduce 30-day
delinquency by at least 10%.
Specific:
Target customers under 30 with 2+ missed payments and high credit utilization.
Measurable:
Track reduction in 30-day delinquency; goal is a 10% decrease.
Actionable:
Use existing SMS infrastructure for outreach.
Relevant:
Aligns with Geldium’s goal to lower delinquency and improve repayment behavior.
Time-bound:
Campaign will run for 6 weeks.
Justification and Business Rationale:
This targeted campaign is simple, cost-effective, and data-backed. It directly reaches a high-
risk segment with an intervention that is easy to scale. By focusing on this group, Geldium
can achieve significant impact in reducing overall delinquency while maintaining a positive
customer experience.
3. Ethical and Responsible AI Considerations
- Potential Bias: The model may under-represent or misclassify certain demographic groups
if historical data is skewed (e.g., income or location-based bias). Fairness checks are
necessary.
- Explainability: Logistic regression provides interpretable coefficients, which makes it easy
to explain to business stakeholders how risk is determined.
- Responsible Decision-Making: Model outputs are reviewed by humans before action. The
SMS campaign is supportive, not punitive.
- Other Ethical Principles: Transparency is maintained through explainable features. Privacy
is ensured by using anonymized data. Ongoing monitoring ensures the model adapts to
changing customer behavior.
