Definition

Model Usage denotes the precise manner in which Model Outputs are translated into business actions. It is the context into a certian model is put to use.

Usage Modes

Usage can be either in the form of

  • automated / unsupervised action or instead
  • produce signals / metrics which are to be evaluated by humans before any action is taken

Examples

Mode usage can take many distinct forms:

  • yes/no decisions in accepting or proposing a risk/transaction
  • direct input into pricing decisions
  • direct input into hedging decisions
  • input into setting of limits
  • internal and / or regulatory capital calculation


Model usage includes the use of Overrides, re-calibrations or any other model adjustment mechanisms that may intermediate and modify the model output before final action.

Issues and Challenges

  • Comprehensive documentation of all important uses of a model can be lacking in Model Documentation because once models are in place users may not follow strict Model Governance
