Smart Africa TRUST SDK
AI-Driven Risk Scoring
Generate transaction risk and trust scores using AI models.
TECHNICAL DESIGN WORKSPACE
Scoring Architecture
| Area | Design responsibility |
|---|---|
| Scoring objectives | Define what the score predicts or measures and how it supports operator decisions. |
| Input feature groups | Transaction, behavioral, system, corridor, temporal and contextual features. |
| Feature engineering | Normalize, aggregate and derive stable signals from raw transaction metadata. |
| Model architecture | Select models appropriate to supervised, unsupervised, anomaly and ensemble scoring. |
| Training strategy | Define training, validation, holdout and cross-system evaluation datasets. |
| Anomaly detection | Identify unusual transaction behavior without requiring a known fraud label. |
| Fraud / risk signals | Model known adverse patterns where reliable labels exist. |
| Trust score calculation | Produce normalized scores with clear range, interpretation and decision thresholds. |
| Confidence score | Express uncertainty and data sufficiency separately from the trust score. |
| Thresholds | Support configurable action bands rather than hard-coded universal decisions. |
| Calibration | Ensure score meaning remains consistent across systems and corridors. |
| Bias / fairness testing | Test for unjustified disparate performance across relevant populations or contexts. |
| Drift monitoring | Detect material change in input distributions or scoring behavior. |
| Versioning | Track model, feature, threshold and calibration versions. |
| Acceptance criteria | Define measurable performance, stability, explainability and operational thresholds. |
