To enable access to customer properties in a Filter component, you need to use a Data Import component. A Data Import component allows you to read data from various sources, such as data sets, data pages, or data flows, and make it available for other components in the strategy. In this case, you need to use a Data Import component that reads from a customer data source that contains income and age properties.

To introduce a new group of offers called Tablets for all customers, you need to create valid actions that represent propositions that you want to present to your customers. In this case, two valid actions are Netflix subscription for 12 months and 5% discount on the price. These are examples of benefits or incentives that can attract customers to buy tablets from MyCo. Tablet serial number and tablet operating system are not valid actions because they are not propositions that can be offered to customers; they are attributes or features of the tablets themselves.

A suppression policy allows you to define conditions that prevent customers from receiving an action or a group of actions. You can use a suppression policy to implement the requirement that customers do not see home loan offers on their account page if they have already received three home loan offers in the last two weeks. You can configure the suppression policy to suppress the home loan group based on the number of times the customer received any action from that group in the past 14 days. Applicability rules are used to determine whether an action is relevant for a customer based on their profile or context, not based on the number of times they received an action. Customer contact limits are used to limit the number of times a customer can be contacted per channel per time period, not based on the number of times they received an action. Volume constraints are used to limit the number of times an action is presented to customers across one or more channels, not based on the number of times they received an action.

The score calculation is independent of the strategy and no change is required. When you use a scorecard component in a decision strategy, you only need to specify the name of the scorecard rule and the output property that will store the score value. The scorecard rule itself defines how the score is calculated based on the input properties and factors. Therefore, if you update the scorecard rule to include a new property in the calculation, you do not need to make any changes in the decision strategy for the updated scorecard to take effect.

To update the cashback offer, you need to edit the engagement policy and the action details. Editing the engagement policy allows you to add a new channel (SMS) and update the suitability condition (lowering the debt-to-income ratio). Editing the action details allows you to specify the treatment for each channel (web and SMS). Verified References: [Pega Decisioning Consultant | Pega Academy]

A priority communication is a type of outbound interaction that allows you to send urgent messages to customers that are not related to any specific offer or proposition. You can use priority communications to inform customers about important events or changes that affect their relationship with your organization. In this case, the bank wants to share the new temporary contact details with all customers over an SMS, so creating a priority communication is the best option.

An audience is a group of customers who share common characteristics or behaviors that are relevant for a business objective. You can use audiences to target specific customers with specific offers or treatments. In this case, the bank wants to advertise a new mortgage refinance offer to the customers who live in the eastern region of the country, so creating an audience based on the location attribute is the best option.

The propensity is a measure of how likely a customer is to accept an offer, based on their attributes and behaviors. The propensity is calculated by using predictive analytics models that learn from historical data and feedback. A low propensity value indicates that the offer is not relevant or attractive for the customer, and that similar customers have ignored or rejected the offer in the past. Therefore, if the offer click-through propensity decreased to 0.42, it most likely indicates that similar customers ignore the offer. Verified References: Pega Decisioning Consultant | Pega Academy

Next-Best-Action is a type of decision that involves selecting and prioritizing the most appropriate proposition for each customer at any given moment. Next-Best-Action can be applied to decisions that require customer-centricity, personalization, and contextualization. Determining if a borrower gets a loan is an example of such a decision, as it depends on the customer’s attributes, behaviors, preferences, and needs. The other options are examples of decisions that are not related to customer interactions, but rather to operational or analytical processes.

Increasing stage upweighting is a feature that allows you to gradually increase the weight of a stage over time, making the offers in that stage more likely to be selected. This is useful for promoting offers that are time-sensitive or have a limited availability. In this case, the bank wants to actively increase offers promotion over time, so enabling increasing stage upweighting for the second stage of the journey, where the offers are presented, is the best option.

To implement this requirement, you need to create an action and the associated web treatment, a real-time container, and a business structure. An action is a proposition that you want to present to a customer, such as a credit card offer. A treatment is the way you present the action to a customer, such as an image or a text message. A real-time container is a configuration that defines how to deliver actions and treatments to a specific channel, such as a website or a mobile app. A business structure is a hierarchy of business groups and business issues that organizes actions into meaningful categories.

To implement this requirement, you need to configure a dynamic template in Customer Decision Hub. A dynamic template is a type of template that allows you to define a common action flow pattern for a group of actions that share similar characteristics, such as channel, issue, or group. You can specify which properties and components are required for each action in the group, and how they are mapped to the action flow template. This way, you can reuse the same action flow template for all the credit card actions, while still allowing some variations in their content and configuration.

Pega Customer Decision Hub is a dynamic and adaptive system that constantly reevaluates the Next-Best-Action for each customer based on their interactions and feedback. If a customer rejects an offer, the system will update the customer profile and the offer performance, and then reapply the Next-Best-Action strategy to select and prioritize another offer that is more relevant and valuable for the customer.

Volume constraints allow you to limit the number of times an action is presented to customers across one or more channels. You can use volume constraints to implement the requirement that customers do not receive more than four promotional emails per quarter, regardless of past responses to that action by the customer. You can configure the volume constraint to limit the number of actions per channel per quarter and select the option to ignore previous responses. Outbound channel limits are used to limit the number of customers contacted per channel per run, not per quarter. Suppression policies are used to exclude customers from receiving an action based on certain conditions, such as opt-out preferences or recent purchases, not based on the number of times the action is presented. Suitability rules are used to determine whether an action is suitable for a customer based on their propensity, priority, or other criteria, not based on the number of times the action is presented.
