What you are building

Implement an automated AI underwriting governance steward using Pydantic AI to enforce compliance guardrails.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates governance audit pass/fail precision and illegal proxy detection.

Datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

How submissions are scored

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

violation_code_format

Verifies violation code schema format

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

governance_detection_f1

F1 score in identifying compliance violations • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

  • Design governance audit rules checking for prohibited underwriting proxies

  • Deploy Pydantic AI guardrails enforcing transparent decision reasoning

  • Monitor automated rate adjustments for fair lending / non-discrimination compliance

  • Generate real-time compliance audit pass/fail metrics
