Model Validation Service of the Year
Working headline: Embedding Trust in a World Gone Virtual
Yields’ Chiron model validation platform repeats in the “Model Validation Service of the Year” category this year, but for different reasons as a result of the very different year that 2020 was for financial risk management.
As a result of employees shifting out of offices in pandemic lockdown mode, disrupting credit risk modelling, validation, and fraud detection, a surge to validate models with more dynamic datasets was underway.
Yields’ Chiron platform deploys AI-driven risk management, as it is a data-centric model risk management platform. It has refined many of its platform features such as templated validation scripts to increase efficiency and consistency of model validation.
The judges said:
“This is an innovative approach to model validation, which appears to be having some success.”
“Offering is innovative and flexible (on prem or cloud) and I especially like the collaboration tooling to create efficiency between developers and model validators. Cost benefits are promising as well.”
“Good use of AI. Good development of product and customer-focused. Good reviews.”
“Differentiates from self-service platforms by offering a data-centric model risk management platform that analyses data quality and industrializes /automates the process. Differentiates from workflow model validation systems. Convincing argument in general.”
“Among its offerings, the firm is focused on solving the problems that a plethora of AI-generated models have wrought to regulatory considerations.”
