release notes specifying changes to the Fraud ML model, prediction service, or the CCCApply Spam Filter are not published to the field - outside of the private Fraud/Spam group in CCCTechnology.info - or discussed in CCCApply Spam Committee meetings (invitation only).

A change was made to the Fraud Status fieldlogic. Beginning with 6.17.0 production release, all Standard Applications will be processed through the Fraud ML prediction service and given a fraud score <fraud_score>, including the applications that have an <idme_workflow_status> = “verified” or “staff-verified” (Fraud Status = 7).  These applications had previously bypassed the fraud service. The change to the logic is as follows:

  1. Regardless of <idme_workflow_status> value: 

    1. If the fraud score is greater than the max threshold (> .25), then, set  the <fraud_status> = 3 (CHECKED FRAUD) and suspend the application in the CCCApply spam filter for processing by the college. 

  2. If the <idme_workflow_status> = “verified” or “staff_verified”, and 

    1. If the fraud score is under the max threshold (< .25) then: set the <fraud_status> = 7 (CHECKED NOT FRAUD), do not suspend the application in the spam filter  and allow the app to be delivered to the college.

Technical Improvements to Application Submission Code

Improvements were made to the CCCApply Application Submission code to better identify and troubleshoot failed transactions and implement better error prefix tagging, etc.

Prior to these improvements, it could sometimes take hours for our development teams to determine a root cause of an issue when errors occur in production and applications start to fail during the submission process. With these improvements, it should take only minutes versus hours to identify errors and root causes.
