Scoring Formula
Health Score = 0.6 × Ratio Score + 0.4 × Trend Score
- Ratio Score (60%): EMI/Income ≤ 35% (25 pts), Savings ≥ 15% (20 pts), Essentials ≤ 40% (15 pts)
- Trend Score (40%): Volatility < 20% (20 pts), No red flags (15 pts), Savings trend ↑ (5 pts)

FAQ
How does spend segmentation work?
WellnessIQ uses ML to classify transactions into 5 categories based on description, merchant code (MCC),
and amount. For example: "Swiggy" → Lifestyle, "HDFC EMI" → EMIs, "More Supermarket" → Essentials.
The Economy engine processes 12 months of data to identify patterns.
What is a good health score?
90-100 = Excellent (balanced finances, high savings), 75-89 = Good (minor adjustments needed),
60-74 = Fair (needs attention), 45-59 = Poor (risky ratios), Below 45 = Critical (urgent intervention).
The score weighs EMI/Income ratio (60%) and trends/volatility (40%).
What guidance does WellnessIQ provide?
Personalized tips per borrower profile: "Reduce lifestyle spend by 5% to boost savings", "EMI burden
high (38%) — consider refinancing", "Great job saving 22% monthly!". Guidance is actionable,
specific, and respects borrower autonomy (no judgmental language).
How does early warning for stress work?
WellnessIQ detects red flags: EMI/Income > 40%, Savings < 5%, Sudden lifestyle spike (> 30% MoM),
Recurring NSFs. Alerts are sent 15 days before predicted delinquency, allowing proactive outreach
(e.g., offering payment holidays or debt restructuring).
Is borrower data secure?
Yes. WellnessIQ follows DPDP Act 2023 and RBI guidelines. All PII (account numbers, names) is masked
in logs and exports. Transaction data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Borrowers can opt-out of
wellness tracking via consent management interface.
Can NBFCs customize spend categories?
Yes. The default 5-category framework can be extended to include subcategories (e.g., split Lifestyle
into Dining, Shopping, Travel). NBFCs can also set custom thresholds for ideal ratios based on their
borrower demographics (e.g., tier-2 cities may have lower lifestyle spend).
