Outline
This hackathon requires participants to build a model that aims to predict whether a motor insurance policyholder will renew their policy at the end of a given calendar year based on anonymised policyholder data.
Participants will need to present their investigation as if they were advising insurance executives. They should be able to explain & communicate their approach & methodology as well as the implications of their model. This should include considerations of the model risk for the organisation; including uncertainties and implications of their model, conclusions, recommendations and findings. Reference to professional guidelines may be made.
Organisers will review submissions and select based on the criteria outlined above a shortlisted set of submissions, to present to a panel of risk management and insurance executives.
