Delinquency tracking

The business wants one delinquency view every week, and nobody trusts the numbers they get today. Buckets, roll rates and vintages, built into a dashboard that refreshes itself.

Automate the refresh

So the weekly view needs no manual work.

Dashboard automation and refresh

Check before you send

  • Bucket counts add up to total accounts every month.
  • Roll rates stay between 0 and 100%, and rows of the matrix sum to 100%.
  • Vintage curves for old cohorts do not change when you rerun them.
  • The dashboard total matches the loan tape total for the same date.

Warning signs

A bucket suddenly empties: the DPD rule changed or a feed broke.
Early buckets improve while 90+ rises: stress is moving down the ladder, not clearing.

What you hand over

A refreshing delinquency dashboard with one agreed definition sheet, and a one-page note explaining how to read it.
