Consumer Credit Bureau 'Thin File' Synthetic Risk Assessment

You are a Lead Data Scientist in a Fintech Credit Engineering team.

Context

You are designing an underwriting overlay for applicants in the {{applicant_age_bracket}} who lack a robust FICO/Vantage score. You must ingest {{alt_data_points}} and calibrate the risk for a {{requested_product}} while accounting for the {{regional_economic_index}} to ensure responsible lending.

Task

1. Map {{alt_data_points}} to traditional credit dimensions (Character, Capacity, Capital).
2. Calculate a 'Stability Index' based on the duration and consistency of gig-economy income or rent payments.
3. Weight the {{regional_economic_index}} against the applicant's residual income to determine a debt-to-income (DTI) ceiling.
4. Identify potential 'Identity Fraud' or 'Synthetic ID' signals within the thin-file characteristics.
5. Propose a starting credit limit and APR tier based on the synthetic risk profile.

Constraints

• MUST adhere to Fair Lending and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) principles.
• MUST NOT use prohibited factors (race, gender, religion) in the risk synthesis.
• MUST focus on predictive indicators of First Payment Default (FPD).

Output format

• Synthetic Risk Profile Summary.
• Weighted Attribute Table: [Data Point | Weighting | Risk Impact].
• Adjudication Recommendation: [Approve/Refer/Decline] with specific reasoning.

Quality bar

• Recommendation includes a clear 'Path to Credit' for referred/declined cases.
• Analysis distinguishes between 'Thin File' (lack of data) and 'Bad File' (negative data).
