Definition

A parameter is a measurable attribute or data point used to assess risk. Each parameter is linked to a dictionary that maps specific values to risk levels.

How Parameters Work

Each parameter is associated with an information field (e.g., Nationality)
The information field value is looked up in the linked dictionary
The dictionary assigns a risk level and score to each value
The parameter score contributes to the overall factor score

Creating custom parameters

Navigate to Configuration → ScoreCard → [Your ScoreCard] → Parameters → Add Parameter.

Field	Description
Parameter name	Free text label for this parameter
Applies to	Individual, Company
Category	Dictionary
Information field	The Profile field this parameter reads from (e.g. `nationality`, `country_of_residence`)
Dictionary Field Type	Single or Multiple values (e.g. nationality = single; product types = multiple)

Risk maps — value scoring

Each parameter must have a risk map that assigns a risk level and risk score to each possible value. Three scenarios to configure:

Scenario	Description	Configurable?
Matched value	The parameter received a value that exists in the risk map	Yes — select risk level and score per value
No value	The parameter received no data (empty/null)	Yes — assign a risk level/score for the empty case
Mismatched value	The parameter received a value that doesn't appear in the risk map	Yes — assign a fallback risk level/score

Use the checkboxes to activate/deactivate specific values in the risk map. Deactivated values won't contribute to the score.

Risk factors

Risk Factors group one or more Parameters and contribute a weighted portion to the final customer risk score.

Field	Description
Factor name	Label for this risk dimension (e.g. "Country Risk", "AML Compliance")
Parameters	One or more parameters to include. Multiple parameters can be combined.
Logic	Standard (single param only): use the param's score directly. Max (multiple params): take the highest-scoring parameter value.
Weight	Percentage weight of this factor in the final score. All factor weights should sum to 100%.

💡

When a Risk Factor has multiple parameters with the same value (e.g. same nationality appearing in two params), both will be displayed in the ScoreCard profile tab. The "used" tag highlights which parameter contributed to the factor score.
