3. Design, validate, and ship Models: hard rejects, soft flags, amount caps — with clear lift/capture

/ approval trade-offs.

1. Own portfolio risk analytics: vintage / DPD / non-starter / POS bad-rate monitoring; propose tier pauses, cool-offs, and ladder-up changes.
2. Build fraud signals (device, SIM/OTP, mule, ring, post-disbursal disappearance) and help prioritise the fraud PRD backlog into production.
