In addition to the requirements of the statistical procedure of development, the scorecard must be in line with business requirements, must conform to common sense and, when possible, not to contradict the expert opinion.

This distribution contradicts the common knowledge in some countries: older customers are more reliable. Borrowers of 40-45 years of age have the lowest score.

For that purpose 40-45 -year-old borrowers are assigned score 14 (instead of 0). At the same time, to preserve the scale of the scorecard, the youngest borrowers are assigned the minimum score 0 (instead of 4).
