Payment Acceleration Risk Model for Small Businesses
Team Members: Graham Curtis, Namanh Kapur, Grace Morgan, Daniel Tang, James Warner, Alex Yang
D2K Team Bill.com is working with Bill.com to develop a model that determines the risk that transactions sent from client organizations will default. Knowing an organization's risk of default, our model will be able to selectively accelerate the payments of stable organizations, bringing value to Bill.com client organizations in the form of greatly reduced payment lead times while extending minimal financial risk for Bill.com.

Team Members: Ye Chen, Seth Kimmel, Ankit Narasimhan, Jordan Pflum, Yifan Zhang
Building upon previous work done to model inter-relatedness of future contracts, we seek to understand market conditions under which such inter-relatedness occurs. This gives us insight into how the futures market operates and allows us to build powerful price prediction models using this knowledge.
