Modeling Techniques
  • Graph database modeling of relationships
  • Extensive decision tree computing hundreds of clean metrics
  • NLP sentiment analysis on customer reviews
Challenge

Construction project financing requires accurate evaluation of contractor creditworthiness and payment history. Traditional credit tools do not fully account for project-level dynamics, network relationships, and real-world payment behavior.

Solution

Austin AI built a construction-focused credit scoring system that aggregates large project, lien, invoice, and company datasets into one unified platform. The system models contractor relationships using a graph database and computes structured risk metrics through a decision tree framework. It also applies NLP to customer reviews to enhance overall credit risk evaluation.

Potential 6-figure additional revenue
Internal credit rating supports credit decisions
Reduced default rates by 30–40%
