Decision Range

The Range Decision model in Scorport is the simplest and most intuitive way to assign decisions based on numerical ranges. By defining custom ranges using the (From, To] convention, you can associate specific statuses with each range for streamlined decision-making. This ensures clear and accurate evaluation of numerical inputs, such as scores, income levels, or other quantitative data.


What Is a Range Decision?

Range Decisions allow users to define decision logic using numerical thresholds. Each range represents a specific interval, and a corresponding status is assigned (e.g., Yes, No, Maybe). Scorport uses the (From, To] convention, meaning the left side is not included, but the right side is included in the range.


Key Features

  1. Customizable Ranges:

    • Define ranges with start (From) and end (To) values using the (From, To] convention.
      • For example, (400, 500] includes 401 to 500 but excludes 400.
    • This ensures that there is no overlap or ambiguity when defining ranges.
  2. Flexible Status Assignment:

    • Assign a label (e.g., Yes, No, Maybe) to each range.
    • Define as many statuses as required (e.g., Approved, Denied, Pending).
  3. Dynamic Updates:

    • Edit ranges and statuses dynamically as your business logic evolves.
    • Change colors and statuses for each range with a single click.
  4. Real-Time Execution:

    • Once configured, the system applies the range logic in real-time, automating decision-making.

How to Create a Range Decision

Step 1: Navigate to the Decision Designer

  • Open the Decision Designer module from the dashboard.
  • Select Range Decision as your decision model type.

Step 2: Add Ranges

  • Click Add Row to define a new range.
  • Input the following details:
    • Label: Assign a label to the range (e.g., B, A, C).
    • Alias: Provide a user-friendly name (e.g., Yes, No, Maybe).
    • From: Specify the starting value (exclusive).
    • To: Specify the ending value (inclusive).

Step 3: Assign Statuses

  • Use the Status field to assign a status (e.g., Yes, Maybe, No) for each range.
  • You can dynamically change the color of each status for better visualization:
    • Green: Positive outcomes (e.g., Yes).
    • Yellow: Conditional outcomes (e.g., Maybe).
    • Red: Negative outcomes (e.g., No).

Step 4: Fine-Tune and Save

  • Adjust the ranges and statuses as needed.
  • Save the decision model to use it in workflows or strategies.

Example: Credit Risk Assessment

  • Use a range decision to evaluate credit scores based on the (From, To] convention:
    • (500, 1000]: Yes (Green) → Approve Loan
    • (400, 500]: Maybe (Yellow) → Further Review
    • (0, 400]: No (Red) → Deny Loan

Benefits of Range Decisions

  • Ease of Use: Quickly define and adjust ranges without complexity.
  • Customizable: Tailor ranges and statuses to match your business requirements.
  • Scalable: Handle simple or extensive ranges depending on the use case.

The (From, To] range convention ensures clarity and precision when defining numerical intervals, making Range Decisions a reliable and efficient tool for automating decision-making.
