Customer Background

A $1B+ bank with a large indirect consumer portfolio needed a consolidated view of lending performance across originations, risk segments, and vendor channels. Rising delinquencies and charge-offs had driven annual consumer loan losses above $8M, significantly compressing margins and ROA.

Objectives

The engagement focused on implementing a Lending Performance Management framework that would: (1) quantify portfolio profitability by credit tier using a robust IRR-based model, (2) validate that scorecards and risk models were correctly ranking loss risk, (3) deploy static pool analysis for vintages, vendors, and collateral segments, and (4) support best-practice scorecards and dashboards for executives and examiners.

Approach

  • Profitability Review & IRR Modeling – Built a portfolio profitability model incorporating origination volumes, weighted yields, life-of-loan loss curves, repayment curves, fee income, and funding costs, with IRR and NPV comparison against alternative investments.
  • Static Pool Performance Analytics – Implemented static pool loss and repayment analysis by origination month, year, credit tier, collateral type, vendor, and member type to identify deteriorating vintages and high-risk segments early.
  • Risk Ranking Validation – Used static pool loss experience stratified by score tier to confirm that FICO and pooled risk models were correctly ranking loss risk and to pinpoint anomalies for underwriting and pricing adjustments.
  • Vendor & Channel Scorecards – Deployed vendor management reports and market- intelligence scorecards to compare vendor performance and benchmark the portfolio against peer lenders.

Outcomes

  • Reduced annual comsumer loan losses from over $8M to approximately $1M while maintaining competitive indirect volumes and portfolio growth.
  • Validated and fine-tuned risk-based pricing so that each credit tier covered expected losses and costs, improving risk-adjusted ROA across nine of ten tiers.
  • Demonstrated to regulators that scorecards and risk models were appropriately ranking risk, supported by static-pool-based risk-ranking validation reports.
  • Established a best-practices reporting program with monthly, quarterly, and annual scorecards for originations, performance, static pools, and vendor quality, enabling proactive portfolio steering rather than reactive policy changes.

Infographic Development

Visualize your Messaging and Strategy with Custom Infographic Development

Infographic development services transform complex data into visually engaging and easily digestible formats that enhance understanding and decision-making. The attached example, titled "Clinical Practice Gaps in the Delivery of Precision Oncology," illustrates how a well-designed infographic can clearly communicate critical drop-off points in a patient care pathway. By breaking down the journey of NSCLC patients into distinct stages-such as biopsy referral, test ordering, and treatment decision-the infographic highlights where and why patients are lost, using both text and percentage data to emphasize impact.

This approach is especially valuable in healthcare, policy, and research settings where stakeholders must quickly grasp key insights. Infographics like this one use a combination of color, layout, and concise labeling to guide the viewer through a narrative, making it easier to identify bottlenecks or areas for improvement. By visualizing data in a structured and intuitive way, these graphics support more informed discussions and strategic planning among clinicians, administrators, and policymakers.

Unlike static reports or proprietary dashboards, infographics can be embedded directly into web pages, shared across digital platforms, and adapted for presentations or publications. This flexibility ensures that insights are not only accessible but also actionable. Infographic development services help organizations bridge the gap between data and understanding, enabling them to communicate findings with clarity, precision, and visual impact. Would you like help creating a similar infographic for your own data or topic?

Infographic Development is most impactful when it is backed by governed analytics and reliable data models, which is why it is often delivered in tandem with our Data Analytics Consulting, Data Engineering Services, and Cybersecurity and Compliance practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Power BI consulting engagement deliver in the first 30 days?

In the first 30 days you receive five production assets: (1) a documented source-to-report data map, (2) a certified Power BI semantic model with governed measures, (3) 3–5 executive-ready dashboards, (4) workspace and row-level security configuration, (5) a handoff package with DAX patterns and refresh schedules. Your team can publish new reports without re-engineering the model.

How is enterprise data governance implemented for business intelligence?

Governance is implemented through three concrete layers: (1) defined data ownership and stewardship assignments, (2) metadata catalog and lineage documentation, (3) automated data quality and contract checks in pipelines. You receive a governance playbook and audit-ready evidence artifacts.

What ROI should I expect from BI modernization?

ROI is measured using baseline operational metrics: report refresh time, manual reporting hours, query latency, and adoption rates. We deliver an MVP within weeks, publish improvement targets, and provide a tracking dashboard so stakeholders see realized gains over 30–90 days.
