# Payments risk internships: fraud, disputes and analytical work

## Change the loss assumption and test the recommendation

Use fictional, fully labeled attempts. Every flag blocks a payment. A missed fraudulent attempt now costs $300; a blocked legitimate attempt still costs $20. No other costs are included.

### The screening outcomes do not change

| Outcome | Approach A | Approach B |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Missed fraudulent attempts | 20 | 30 |
| Blocked legitimate attempts | 220 | 110 |

## Your turn

Which approach has lower modeled cost under the new assumption, and by how much?

## Your answer

[Write your approach here.]

## For your own application

Separate measured outcomes from the cost assumptions used to value them.
