Credit risk modelling: Driving Efficiency with AI
Using AI to build credit risk models is no longer fantasy – we have used an AI agent to build IRB models utilising our Hercules toolkit
Today’s most complex credit risk models come with substantial costs. Equally, their protracted development phases lead to extended time-to-market.

Hercules is Oliver Wyman’s agentic AI solution for credit risk modelling, built upon our proven modelling codebase, methodology, and templates, featuring a no-code, natural language interface for steering and oversight by human modellers
-
The agentic AI orchestrator executes the end-to-end model development, refinement and/or re-calibration process according to the desired configuration
-
It leverages our production-quality Python codebase, which has been deployed successfully across multiple modelling programmes and validated by both Model Risk functions and regulators
-
Hercules produces a near-final modelling package with model documentation, all required regulatory artefacts and production code
-
Its intuitive interface proactively presents results, options and recommendations for human modellers to review, discuss with experts and approve – ensuring effective ‘human-in-the-loop’ oversight

Hercules combines our proven methodology and codebase with an agentic AI layer to transform credit risk modelling, and designed to support human decision‑making and free-up cognitive capacity by taking care of the mechanical and analytical grunt work

The Hercules’ Agentic AI layer accelerates credit risk model development via end-to-end orchestration, proactive insights and automated documentation
