Credit Card Default Risk & Intervention Agent with OpenAI Agents SDK

UK credit card defaults have surged to a 17-year high, requiring financial institutions to proactively identify distressed cardholders before charge-off occurs. Build an early intervention risk management agent using OpenAI Agents SDK to analyze consumer debt accumulation signals and generate customized repayment assistance plans, reducing default rates by 18%.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

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

FCA Compliance Check

Ensure generated plans do not propose punitive interest rates above legal limits.

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

default_prediction_accuracy

Accuracy in categorizing high-risk default borrowers • target: 0.92 • range: 0.85-1

Binary check

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