    Assume a different strategy designer received the same assignment but he reversed the Adaptive Model with the Set Property component. As a result, he built the following decision strategy: Which of the following statements do you think it is true?

    • A.

      This solution is incorrect. Profit is not computed correctly.

    • B.

      This solution is incorrect. Propensity is not computed correctly.

    • C.

      This solution is correct. Strategy will result in the same output.

    Correct Answer
    C. This solution is correct. Strategy will result in the same output.
    Explanation
    The given solution is correct because reversing the Adaptive Model with the Set Property component does not affect the output of the strategy. The order in which these components are placed does not change the computation of profit or propensity. Therefore, the strategy will still result in the same output regardless of the order of these components.

    U+, a telecom company, wants customers with high churn risk to receive a retention offer (Churn is when customers leave an organization, usually for a competitor). How do you change the following strategy to meet this requirement?

    • A.

      Access past interactions with similar customers to predict a customer's churn risk, and make retention offer if the risk is high.

    • B.

      Detect high churn risk customers using a predictive model and run this strategy in batch mode for those customers.

    • C.

      Use a decision component that can access and run a predictive model from within the strategy, in real-time.

    Correct Answer
    C. Use a decision component that can access and run a predictive model from within the strategy, in real-time.
    Explanation
    The given correct answer suggests using a decision component that can access and run a predictive model from within the strategy in real-time. This means that instead of running the strategy in batch mode for high churn risk customers, the strategy will be able to detect high churn risk customers in real-time and make retention offers immediately. By accessing and running the predictive model in real-time, U+ can proactively identify customers at risk of leaving and offer them retention incentives promptly, increasing the chances of retaining them.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    How does a predictive model help in proactive retention?

    • A.

      The model suggests the best retention offer based on a customer's churn risk

    • B.

      The model predicts a customer's churn risk, which can be used in the strategy to select a suitable retention offer

    • C.

      The model looks into all retention offers made in the past and selects the most successful one

    Correct Answer
    B. The model predicts a customer's churn risk, which can be used in the strategy to select a suitable retention offer
    Explanation
    A predictive model helps in proactive retention by predicting a customer's churn risk. This information can then be used to develop a strategy for selecting a suitable retention offer. By understanding which customers are at a higher risk of leaving, the company can tailor their offers and incentives to effectively retain those customers. This allows for a more proactive approach to customer retention, as the company can take action before the customer actually decides to leave.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Select the strategy pattern that will choose a proposition based on the output of a predictive model.

    Correct Answer
    B.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Decision Strategy Pattern. This pattern allows for the selection of a proposition based on the output of a predictive model. It involves using a set of predefined rules or conditions to determine the appropriate proposition to choose. This pattern is commonly used in decision-making processes where the outcome is based on the prediction of a model.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    What does a churn predictive model need to predict the propensity of customer churn?

    • A.

      Proposition properties

    • B.

      Customer properties

    • C.

      Strategy properties

    Correct Answer
    B. Customer properties
    Explanation
    A churn predictive model needs customer properties to predict the propensity of customer churn. Customer properties refer to the characteristics and behavior of the customers, such as demographics, purchase history, engagement level, and customer satisfaction. By analyzing these customer properties, the model can identify patterns and indicators that suggest a higher likelihood of churn. This information can then be used to develop strategies and interventions to prevent or reduce customer churn.

    • A.

      Select a proposition with the highest profit

    • B.

      Calculate profit for each proposition

    • C.

      Select propositions with a profit higher than 60$

    • D.

      Select a proposition with the lowest profit

    Correct Answer
    C. Select propositions with a profit higher than 60$
    Explanation
    The Filter component should be implemented to select propositions with a profit higher than $60. The Filter component is designed to filter and select specific data based on certain criteria. In this case, the requirement is to select propositions with a profit higher than $60, so the Filter component would be the appropriate choice to filter out and select only those propositions that meet this criteria.

      Always make a sales offer regardless of the call reason

    • C.

      Randomly make a retention or sales offer to ensure customer satisfaction

    • D.

      Make an appropriate sales offer if the customer inquires about certain products.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Make a retention offer when the customer calls in to cancel their contract
    D. Make an appropriate sales offer if the customer inquires about certain products.
    Explanation
    The two most appropriate strategies for U+ to execute on this strategy are to make a retention offer when the customer calls in to cancel their contract and to make an appropriate sales offer if the customer inquires about certain products. These strategies are effective because they are tailored to the specific situations in which the offers are made. Offering a retention offer when a customer calls in to cancel their contract shows that U+ values their customers and wants to retain them. Making a sales offer when a customer inquires about certain products shows that U+ is proactive in meeting the customer's needs and providing them with relevant options.

    Which of the following statement is true regarding the Filter and Prioritization component in a decision strategy? (Choose One)

    • A.

      The Filter component reduces the number of incoming data elements by allowing all rows for which the condition is true.

    • B.

      The Filter component reduces the number of incoming data elements by allowing all rows for which the condition is false.

    • C.

      The Filter condition is a numeric expression similar to the Prioritization expression.

    • D.

      A Prioritization component cannot reduce the number of incoming data elements since it is only ranking the incoming data.

    Correct Answer
    A. The Filter component reduces the number of incoming data elements by allowing all rows for which the condition is true.
    Explanation
    The Filter component in a decision strategy reduces the number of incoming data elements by allowing all rows for which the condition is true. This means that only the data elements that meet the specified condition will be included in the subsequent steps of the decision strategy. The Filter condition is different from the Prioritization expression, which is used for ranking the incoming data. Therefore, the statement that a Prioritization component cannot reduce the number of incoming data elements is not true.

      Set Property - Group by

    • B.

      Set Property - Filter

    • C.

      Aggregate - Filter

    • D.

      Group by - Filter

    Correct Answer
    D. Group by - Filter
    Explanation
    The Group by - Filter decision strategy pattern would be used to filter out all propositions having their price higher than the average product price. This pattern involves grouping the propositions based on a certain property (in this case, price), and then applying a filter to select only those propositions that meet a specific condition (in this case, having a price higher than the average). This allows for the identification and removal of propositions that do not meet the desired criteria.

    • D.

      Determine that the customer is or is not eligible for a particular product

    Correct Answer
    D. Determine that the customer is or is not eligible for a particular product
    Explanation
    The hard rules determine whether or not a customer is eligible for a specific product. These rules establish the criteria that a customer must meet in order to qualify for the product. If the customer meets the requirements outlined in the hard rules, they are considered eligible. If they do not meet the criteria, they are deemed ineligible. The hard rules serve as a decisive factor in determining a customer's eligibility for a particular product.
