Title Merchant Risk Score Monitoring Tool
Summary I made a risk score monitoring tool for my client for my capstone project. The client is a financial services provider, who provides Point of Sale terminals to merchants. They wanted to calculate their operational risk. For them, the operational risk meant how much money they would lose if a specific merchant went out of the business or terminated its contract. This of course can be meaningful for multiple time intervals: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and yearly. They wanted the risk for each of their merchants and the risk of the portfolio, which would be the sum of the individual merchants. The report was to be in power BI, where the riskiest merchants and riskiest merchant categories were shown. By the end of the project, I delivered a report, which had all the usable data they provided in a master table. It also included some charts and tables which I thought were important. There could be improvements as there were data issues and the timeframe or the project was short. But they were happy with the product as it has shown them what they wanted to see, and something which is even more important: the shortcomings of their data.
