SentinelAI™ - Portfolio Early Warning System

Continuously monitors every loan in your portfolio, detecting subtle deterioration patterns that predict default months in advance.

The Challenge

By the time borrowers miss a payment, it's often too late. Banks need 3-6 months advance warning to prevent defaults through early intervention.

What It Does

Continuously monitors every loan in your portfolio, detecting subtle deterioration patterns that predict default months before traditional delinquency metrics.

Model Metadata

  • Model Architecture: LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) neural networks with attention mechanisms
  • Training Data Size: 50M+ monthly account observations, 8+ years
  • Features: Time-series of 150+ account, credit bureau, and behavioral metrics
  • Update Frequency: Real-time scoring, weekly model refresh
  • Lookback Period: 24 months of historical patterns
  • Prediction Horizon: 3, 6, and 12-month default probabilities

Business Outcomes

  • 5-month average advance warning of defaults
  • 35% reduction in charge-offs through early intervention
  • $8M+ annual savings in loss mitigation (typical $500M portfolio)
  • 4x improvement in collection efficiency
  • Prioritized outreach to highest-risk accounts

Training Approach

Sequence ModelingLSTM networks trained on monthly time-series data to learn temporal patterns in account deterioration. Attention mechanisms identify which historical periods most strongly predict future default.
Multi-Horizon TrainingSimultaneous prediction of 3, 6, and 12-month default probabilities using shared representation learning.
Imbalanced LearningSMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling) and focal loss to handle severe class imbalance in default events.
