Traditional, correlational, Machine Learning approaches are often not sufficiently trusted or capable enough to address some of the most crucial questions across the customer journey, credit portfolio, marketing, model risk, insurance claims, insurance policies, AI regulations as well as centralised planning & strategy

Traditional machine learning approaches often fail to address critical business questions

Correlation, not causation

Spurious correlations lead to bad decisions

They struggle to answer why

And are often perceived as “black boxes”

Prediction, not next best action

For example, they can predict if a customer will churn or not but can’t recommend the optimal next best action to retain the customer

Do these questions sound familiar?

Financial Services run on causal questions

Customer Journey
  • What are the best actions (interventions) to retain or up-sell my customers?
  • How do I best price my products to optimize for market share or profitability?
  • How does my competitor’s behavior impact churn and customer lifetime value?
Credit Portfolio
  • How do interest rates, inflation, FX rates, and other external drivers impact the creditworthiness of my customers?
  • What are the causal drivers of credit risk?
  • What are the best actions (interventions) for loans that are defaulted or about to default?
  • How should I rebalance my portfolio to optimize risk-adjusted returns?
Marketing Optimization
  • Based on my budget, what is the optimal allocation of investment across channels (e.g.: media, digital, and mail)?
  • How well did my last marketing campaign perform? Why?
  • What are the causal drivers of campaign performance?
  • What are the best interventions to improve campaign performance?
Model Risk
  • Has the model accounted for confounders?
  • Does the model include any spurious correlations?
  • Is the model affected by Simpson’s Paradox? (Does the full population relationship hold for subpopulations?)
  • How would the model behave in unseen scenarios that I haven’t observed before?
  • Is my model biased towards gender, race, and other protected classes?
  • Is my model fair, and can it withstand the scrutiny of any external audit?
Insurance Claims
  • What are the root causes of claims costs?
  • What is the causal impact of inflation on claim costs?
  • Does a partnered network (e.g. garages) help reduce claim costs? Which claims are they most effective at reducing?
  • What is causing the claim in our policy network? Can we reduce these with physical features or training?
  • What is the causal impact of claims experience on renewal?
  • Would auto-approving all claims vs the cost to investigate fraud be beneficial?
Insurance Policies
  • What is the optimal price for our policy?
  • What happens if I offer a rewards programme?
  • What is our policies’ true price elasticity?
  • What policy would be most relevant to a potential client?
  • How can I fairly approve Life & Health policies?
  • What is the causal impact of market conditions on demand for policy?
Centralized planning & strategy
  • How do interest rates and inflation dynamics affect the risk profile of the entire portfolio?
  • How will the competitive, market, and macro dynamics impact my PnL?
  • How will decisions in pricing, marketing or risk management affect the PnL and the risk profile of the entire portfolio?
