Apply some simple transformation to data inputs and to enrich them with data from other sources, ensuring you get the variables you need, in the correct format, that you'll then use later in your model.

• Transform Data - Create new properties by transforming existing inputs

• Enrich via API - Create custom API requests to enrich quotes

• Data Set - Map data sets to enrich quotes

• Collection - Dynamically query data sets to enrich quotes

3. Decision Steps - Learn more about decision steps

• Exclusions - Create exclusion rules to reject quotes

• Excesses - Create excesses or deductible rules for quotes

• Endorsements - Create endorsement rules for quotes

• Refer - Create custom referral rules for quotes

4. Calculation Steps - Learn more about calculation steps

• Factors - Create risk table factors that return a weight or rule

• Calculation - Define complex calculations, such as prices
