>lesson to the youngsters - never do anything smelly/unethical (dont even mention criminal) without manager approval in writing.

How about just not doing unethical shit?

It can be smelly/unlawful without being unethical. Even quite the opposite.

How big is your dataset?

I'd expect the logic backing a legacy/old school company like this would turn out to be an expert system. If that's the case, and you have a LOT of data, you'd likely get very far by just feeding a bunch of SCHUFA applications and resulting scores into SKL's decision tree classifier.

They are easy to visualize, they likely model what's going on behind the scenes, and it takes very little effort to give it a try.

I cannot answer, I'm not affiliated with the project. Better ask @vavoida.

Next target: Fair, Isaac. Perhaps the OpenSCHUFA project can be convinced to take on Fair, Isaac next.

17 years living in Germany, never heard of Fair, Isaac. Creditreform and Arvato are much likely next targets.

Might be worth noting that OpenSCHUFA has some ties to the Bertelsmann Foundation, which owns Arvato Infoscore, a SCHUFA competitor.

I think this is properly disclosed. And definitely does not reduce the value of the effort.

When applying for a loan, mobile phone contract, or even trying to rent an apartment in Germany, the Schufa score - Germany's credit rating - is decisive. If you have a few "points" too little, your application is refused. (Computer says "No" to your new smartphone or apartment.) However, the calculation of these credit scores - done by the private Schufa company - is fully intransparent. The formula is a trade secret, and as such not open to the public.

We want to change this intransparency with the project OpenSCHUFA. Open Knowledge Foundation together with AlgorithmWatch want to reconstruct the Schufa algorithm with "reverse engineering".

I don't know if this is HN effect or what but I just dont't get to the game. All I see after log in is some terrain and, a few moments later "Destroyed by " someone. No units movement, nothing.

Thanks for indulging my curiosity :)

Yeah, cycling near trucks is terrible, I wouldn't do it either.
