Job ID: 39848896

Budget: $3,000 – $5,000 USD

Project Overview
The objective of this project is to design and implement a comprehensive credit rating module in four structured phases. This system will support financial, business, management and industry risks assessment for businesses by automating data collection, calculation, and reporting. The scope covers initial prototype development in Excel, advanced scoring integration, AI-driven automation, and deployment on a secure cloud platform. Each phase includes clear deliverables, timelines, and payment milestones to ensure transparency and alignment with stakeholder expectations.
Phase 1: Excel Module Development
• Objective: Develop an Excel-based tool to calculate key financial risk ratios and provide simple risk scoring for business, management, governance, and industry risks. The design will be modeled according to S&P methodology .
Key Tasks:
• Gather requirements and review the module for reference.
• Identify essential financial ratios and scoring criteria upon Rating Analytics Company.
• Develop Excel formulas and templates for risks calculation.
• Structure scoring logic for each risk domain.
• Test calculation accuracy and scoring outputs.
Deliverables: Functional Excel file with calculation and scoring capabilities, documentation of risk ratios and scoring methodology.
Timeline: 1 week
Payment Milestone: 20% upon delivery and approval of the Excel module.

Phase 2: Enhanced Scoring System
• Objective: Upgrade the scoring model by integrating client questionnaires for more robust evaluation of business, management, governance, and industry risks.
Key Tasks:
• Design structured questionnaires targeting each risk domain.
• Map questionnaire responses to refined scoring metrics.
• Integrate questionnaire logic into the Excel model or prototype platform.
• Validate scoring outputs with test cases and sample data.
Deliverables: Enhanced risk scoring system, integrated questionnaire, updated documentation.
Timeline: 3 weeks
Payment Milestone: 20% upon delivery and approval of the enhanced scoring system.

Phase 3: AI Integration
• Objective: Integrate AI technologies to automate data extraction from client files, automate financial ratio calculations, and improve risks evaluation processes.
Key Tasks:
• Identify data sources and file formats commonly used by clients.
• Develop or integrate AI modules for automated data extraction (e.g., OCR, NLP).
• Automate population of financial ratio calculations from extracted data.
• Enhance business, management, governance and industry risks evaluation by leveraging AI-driven insights.
• Conduct system testing and validate outputs for accuracy and reliability.
Deliverables: AI-enabled automation features, updated scoring engine, technical documentation.
Timeline: 3 weeks
Payment Milestone: 20% upon successful integration and demonstration of AI automation features.

Phase 4: Cloud Deployment
• Objective: Deploy the credit rating system on a secure cloud platform, enabling clients to access credit rating reports and scores through an online interface with account creation and payment features.
Key Tasks:
• Design and develop the online platform with a user-friendly dashboard.
• Implement secure user registration, authentication, and account management.
• Integrate payment processing for client subscriptions or report access.
• Enable automated generation and delivery of credit rating reports.
• Ensure data security, privacy compliance, and system scalability.
• Conduct user acceptance testing and finalize deployment.
Deliverables: Fully functional cloud-based platform, user documentation, support resources.
Timeline: 6 weeks
Payment Milestone: 40% upon successful deployment and client onboarding.
