gauge for credit risk
Predictive and powerful risk scores
What is Gauge?
Gauge is a series of credit risk scores developed exclusively for Callcredit by
DecisionMetrics, building on the wealth of experience they have of developing
scorecards for the UK financial services market.
The combination of DecisionMetrics' expertise in the use of Credit Reference Agency
data and Callcredit's ground breaking public and shared account performance data have
combined to produce a set of market leading scores.
The two separate suites of scores addressing account origination and account
management offer superior levels of discrimination by fully leveraging the unique
datasets available from Callcredit's consumer database.

Why Gauge?
Gauge provides lenders with a fast, objective and consistent measurement of the
credit risk associated with each consumer, based on information contained in their
credit report.
Gauge enables lenders and other users to better understand the likely future payment
performance of their customers or prospects and therefore to make more informed
decisions. Gauge can be integrated within automated and manual credit decision
processes.
Gauge can be used to support consumer credit application decisions and
review existing credit accounts for overdraft limit management,
credit card limit changes, further product credit granting,
collections decisions and to support marketing activity.
