AI scoring: how is a limit decision made in 24 hours?

Turnover trend, seasonality and cancellation rate — we explain the signals the model looks at and where the decision ends.

Summary
The model reads not the past but the current signals of payment capacity.Scoring produces a recommendation; the decision is made by a licensed financing institution.If the data flow is automatic, the time is shorter; verifying a manual declaration takes time.

What does the model look at?

In a turnover-based assessment the signals are much more than a single number. As much as the total size of turnover, the character of that turnover matters.

Turnover trend: over the last 6–12 months, is the direction up, flat or down?Seasonality: is the fluctuation predictable, or random?Channel distribution: how are the cash, card and platform shares split?Cancellation and return rate: the quietest indicator of operational stability.Collection continuity: how many days of uninterrupted sales are there?Supply pattern: are the frequency and amount of purchasing consistent with turnover?

Why can 24 hours be enough?

In the classic process, most of the time goes to collecting and verifying data. If the data is already flowing in the system, this step disappears; what remains is to evaluate the signals and pass the result to the relevant institution.

That is why an application from a business using are8 POS moves both faster and with higher visibility than one based on a manual declaration.

Preliminary assessment time when the data flow is ready

Who makes the decision?

There is a clear line here: are8 AI produces a score and a preliminary limit recommendation. The final financing decision, the limit amount and the disbursement terms belong to the financing company licensed by the BDDK under Law No. 6361.

In addition, the existence of automated assessment is clearly disclosed to the applicant, and financial data is shared only with explicit consent. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The model produces a recommendation, the decision stays with the licensed institution. This distinction is not marketing but a compliance requirement.

Three things that strengthen your application

The three most practical improvements you can make before entering the assessment: keeping records in order (unrecorded turnover cannot enter the assessment), keeping the cancellation and return rate under control, and making the supply flow visible in the system. All three are a matter of operational discipline; two of them come on their own with free software.

How it maps to are8

In an are8 EF application your POS and platform data enter the scoring, and your preliminary limit is produced within 24 hours. Limit allocation is free, with no payment for a limit you do not use.
