This article walks through the design and implementation of an automated credit decisioning system for a small loan company. The goal was to replace a largely manual credit evaluation process with a real-time scoring pipeline — improving speed, consistency, and explainability.

Before the project, the company's credit process was largely manual, with significant human intervention at every stage. This led to slower decision times, inconsistency across reviewers, and limited ability to scale.
