Scoring Callout

A Scoring Callout is executed after the standard RiskMinder Scoring logic has executed. If a Scoring Callout is implemented, then:

1. RiskMinder Server executes the standard Scoring program and invokes the Callout framework.
2. The RiskMinder Callout framework formats the data in XML format.
3. The RiskMinder Callout framework performs an HTTP or HTTPS POST of the following information to your Scoring Callout:
   • Overall Score computed by the standard RiskMinder built-in Scoring Engine.
   • Rule results for each Evaluation rule that was executed.
   • Additional Inputs, if any, that are provided by the calling application as part of the evaluateRisk() API call.
   • Modifier string originally returned by the Evaluation Callout.
4. Your Callout uses the data passed by RiskMinder to process its custom logic.
5. Your Callout then returns the following information to RiskMinder:
   • Final Score in the form of an integer in the range [0 – 100].

   Note: The score returned by the Scoring Callout always overrides the Score computed by the RiskMinder Scoring Engine. If you want to retain the score computed by RiskMinder's standard Scoring Engine, then you will need to pass that same Score as the return value in your response.

   • Annotation string that contains the reason or the description sent back to RiskMinder Server. For example, you can put the reason for changing the score in the Annotation field.

   Note: This information is used for logging (in the database), reporting, and auditing purposes.

6. RiskMinder Server logs the information returned by your Callout.
