Increasing stage upweighting is a feature that allows you to gradually increase the weight of a stage

over time, making the offers in that stage more likely to be selected. This is useful for promoting

offers that are time-sensitive or have a limited availability. In this case, the bank wants to actively

increase offers promotion over time, so enabling increasing stage upweighting for the second stage

of the journey, where the offers are presented, is the best option. Verified Reference: [Pega

The score calculation is independent of the strategy and no change is required. When you use a

scorecard component in a decision strategy, you only need to specify the name of the scorecard rule

and the output property that will store the score value. The scorecard rule itself defines how the

score is calculated based on the input properties and factors. Therefore, if you update the scorecard

rule to include a new property in the calculation, you do not need to make any changes in the

decision strategy for the updated scorecard to take effect. Verified Reference: [Pega Academy -

In a decision strategy, to use a customer property in an expression, you need to define Customer

page in Pages & Classes and specify its class as Data-Customer. This allows you to access customer

properties by using dot notation, such as Customer.Age or Customer.Gender. You do not need to

define the property as a strategy property, use it without any prefix, or prefix it with the keyword

Customer. Verified Reference: [Certified Pega Decisioning Consultant | Pega Academy], Decision
