Question 1 Domain 7 Decision strategies

In a decision strategy, to use a customer property in an expression, you

Correct Answer B
Explanation

In a decision strategy, to use a customer property in an expression, you need to define Customer page in Pages & Classes and specify its class as Data-Customer. This allows you to access customer properties by using dot notation, such as Customer.Age or Customer.Gender. You do not need to define the property as a strategy property, use it without any prefix, or prefix it with the keyword Customer.

Question 2 Domain 5 AI and Arbitration

A financial institution's NBA team discovers that they need to modify their risk assessment strategy and edit a scorecard used for loan approvals. The team lead reviews the available options in 1:1 Operations Manager to determine the most appropriate approach to implementing these changes.

Which approach should the team lead use to implement these strategy and scorecard modifications?

Correct Answer B
Explanation Context weighting is an arbitration factor that adjusts how much the system values customer needs in the action ranking process. When you boost context weighting, the system gives more priority to what customers actually need, improving recommendation relevance. The other options like performance levers or business targets do not directly control whether customer needs get weighted higher in the prioritization formula.

Question 3 Domain 5 AI and Arbitration

U+ Bank implemented a customer journey for its customers. The journey consists of five stages. The bank observes that as customers progress through the journey, one customer entered the third stage of the journey, and then received an offer that is not included in any journey.

Which statement explains the cause of this behavior?

Correct Answer D
Explanation

Pega Customer Decision Hub always selects and prioritizes the most relevant and valuable action for each customer at any given moment, regardless of whether the action is part of a journey or not. A journey is a way to group and organize actions that are related to a common business objective or customer need, but it does not override the Next-Best-Action strategy that determines the best action for each customer. Therefore, if a customer receives an offer that is not included in any journey, it means that the offer is more suitable and beneficial for the customer than any other offer in the journey.

Question 4 Domain 1 Next-Best-Action concepts

U+ Bank has recently implemented Pega Customer Decision Hub. As a first step, the bank went live with the contact center to improve customer engagement. Now, U+ Bank wants to extend its customer engagement through the web channel. As a decisioning architect, you have created the new set of actions, the corresponding treatments, and defined a new trigger in the Next-Best-Action Designer for the new web channel.

What else do you configure for the new treatments to be present in the next-best-action recommendations?

Correct Answer D
Explanation

When you create a new trigger in the Next-Best-Action Designer, Pega Customer Decision Hub automatically generates a decision strategy for that trigger and channel. You do not need to create or modify any strategies manually. Verified Reference:Pega Academy - Decisioning Consultant - Creating triggers

Question 5 Domain 6 Channels

U+ Bank has recently defined two contact policies:

1. Suppress a group of credit card offers for 30 days if any credit card offer is rejected three times in any channel in the past 15 days.

2. Suppress the Reward card offer, part of the credit card group, for 7 days if it is rejected twice in any channel in the last 7 days. Paul, an existing U+ Bank customer, no longer sees the Reward card offer. What is the reason that Paul cannot see the offer?

Correct Answer C
Explanation

Paul cannot see the Reward card offer because he rejected other credit card offers twice on the web channel and once in contact center in the past 15 days. This triggers the first contact policy that suppresses a group of credit card offers for 30 days if any credit card offer is rejected three times in any channel in the past 15 days. The Reward card offer is part of the credit card group, so it is suppressed for Paul for 30 days. The second contact policy that suppresses the Reward card offer for 7 days if it is rejected twice in any channel in the last 7 days does not apply because Paul did not reject the Reward card offer twice in any channel in the last 7 days. Verified Reference: [Certified Pega Decisioning Consultant | Pega Academy], Suppression policies system Following is the description of the image that was sent with question no:5:

This is a screenshot of a table with four columns and two rows.

The table has a header row with white text on a blue background.

The header row reads ''Constraint name'', ''Constraint mode'', ''Constraint value'', and ''Channel''.

The second row has black text on a white background.

The second row reads ''Standard card'', ''Return any action that does not exceed'', ''100'', and ''Daily''.

The table has a gray border and a light blue background.

Question 6 Domain 8 Business agility in 1:1 customer engagement

An outbound run identifies 150 Standard card offers, 75 on email, and 75 on the SMS channel. If the following volume constraint is applied, how many actions are delivered by the outbound run?

Question 6 exhibit

Correct Answer B
Explanation

The outbound run delivers 75 emails and 25 SMSes for the Standard card offer because the volume constraint is set to limit the number of actions per channel per day. The email channel has a limit of 75 actions per day, so all 75 email offers are delivered. The SMS channel has a limit of 25 actions per day, so only 25 SMS offers are delivered. The remaining 50 SMS offers are not delivered because they exceed the volume constraint.

Question 7 Domain 4 Contact policy and volume constraints

A declsioning architect wants to use the customer properties Gender and MonthlyAverageUsage in a Data Join component. Which decision component is required to enable access to these properties?

Correct Answer D
Explanation The Return any action that does not exceed constraint mode selects all actions where the volume constraint has remaining capacity. CUST-01 qualifies for three actions but the volume constraint shows Protect Your Device has 5 remaining, MyFone Buds has 7 remaining, and MyFone AirPods Pro has 0 remaining. The system can select the first two actions since they have remaining limits. MyFone AirPods Pro gets excluded because its limit is exhausted. Therefore the system selects 2 actions for CUST-01 in this outbound run.
