Projects and Rulesets
The business rules are organized into projects and rulesets that group the rules according to their business purpose.
Falcon Expert offers unique Projects, which usually correspond to the transaction data fed into the Falcon Scoring Server. Based on your installation of Falcon, you see an applicable subset of these projects.
If you are a credit card issuer, you see the credit projects that include Authorization-Posting, Nonmonetary, and Payment projects. Institutions that work with demand deposit accounts see debit projects that include Authorization-Posting, Nonmonetary, and Deposit projects. Institutions that submit authentication transactions using the authentication data feed see the Authentication project.
Each project holds one or two rulesets.
Rulesets are rules grouped by their purpose. For example, the Credit Authorization-Posting project provides a Decision Ruleset and a UDV Calculation Ruleset that you can use to create decision rules or update UDVs respectively as described below:
- Use the Decision Ruleset to write rules for making decisions on a transaction (for example, advising the authorization system to decline an authorization, or to create a case). For example, you could write a rule to create a case for a PAN where a transaction scores more than 800.
- Use the UDV Calculation Ruleset to write rules that can update or reset a User-Defined Variable. For example, to capture the last time a customer requested a new card, you could store that value in a UDV.
