Scenario · 6 questions

The loan model you inherited

You join a bank on a Monday and inherit a model that approves or declines loan applications. It works, in the sense that it runs and returns a number. Nobody who built it still works here. The next six questions follow that model from the training data it was built on through to the morning, nine months later, when someone asks which version was live in March. Each step is a real decision, and each one is a place the exam guide expects you to know what to look at.

AWS SageMaker: The training set is eight years of past decisions, and approvals for one applicant group run about twelve to one against another. Nothing has been trained yet. Which reading tells you whether that gap is in the data itself?

AWS SageMaker: Applications arrive with free-text employment status, a raw annual income, and the date the applicant opened their first account. You derive account age in months from that date. Which failure does the guide warn about when deriving features this way?

AWS SageMaker: You retrain and the model scores 0.98 on the training set and 0.71 on held-out validation data. What is the tell, and what does the guide pair with it as a fix?

AWS SageMaker: The model is ready to go live. The team wants it in front of a small share of real traffic first, with the ability to shift that share back within minutes if approval rates move. Which deployment strategy is that?

AWS SageMaker: Nine months later there has been no code change and no redeploy, yet precision has fallen steadily for two quarters. What is happening, and what does the guide have you monitor?

AWS SageMaker: A regulator asks which model made a specific decision in March, and on what data that model was trained. What must already have been in place for the bank to answer?
