### Installation
```bash
pip install credit-risk-creditum
```

### Instant Credit Decision
```python
from credit_risk import CreditApplication

# Initialize (loads pre-trained models)
app = CreditApplication()

# Individual credit assessment
application = {
    'credit_score': 720,
    'monthly_income': 5000,
    'monthly_debt': 1500,
    'loan_amount': 25000,
    'loan_purpose': 'home'
}

# Get instant decision
decision = app.make_decision(application, 'individual')

print(f"Decision: {decision['decision'].upper()}")
print(f"Risk Score: {decision['risk_score']:.3f}")
print(f"Risk Category: {decision['risk_category'].upper()}")
print(f"Max Loan: ${decision['max_loan_amount']:,.0f}")
```

## 🔬 Advanced Stress Testing

### Quick Stress Test
```python
# Test recession scenario
recession_decision = app.make_decision(
    application, 'individual', 
    stress_scenario='recession'
)

print(f"Normal Risk: {decision['risk_score']:.3f}")
print(f"Recession Risk: {recession_decision['risk_score']:.3f}")
print(f"Risk Increase: {(recession_decision['risk_score'] - decision['risk_score']):+.3f}")
```

### Comprehensive Stress Testing
```python
# Test all scenarios at once
stress_results = app.run_stress_tests(application, 'individual')

print(f"Scenarios Tested: {len(stress_results['scenario_results'])}")
print(f"Decision Changes: {stress_results['summary']['decision_changes']}")
print(f"Worst Case Risk: {stress_results['summary']['worst_case_risk_score']:.3f}")

# Show each scenario result
for scenario_name, result in stress_results['scenario_results'].items():
    decision = result['decision']
    change_indicator = "CHANGE" if result['decision_change'] else "STABLE"
    print(f"{change_indicator} {scenario_name}: {decision['decision']} (Risk: {decision['risk_score']:.3f})")
```

**Output:**
```
Scenarios Tested: 4
Decision Changes: 1
Worst Case Risk: 0.847

STABLE recession: approved (Risk: 0.342)
CHANGE inflation_surge: rejected (Risk: 0.847)
STABLE market_crash: approved (Risk: 0.398)
STABLE optimistic: approved (Risk: 0.189)
```

## 🎯 Real-World Use Cases

### Banking & Credit Unions
```python
# Batch processing for loan applications
applications = load_applications_from_database()

for app_data in applications:
    decision = app.make_decision(app_data, 'individual')
    
    # Store decision in database
    store_decision(app_data['application_id'], decision)
    
    # Generate approval letter if approved
    if decision['decision'] == 'approved':
        generate_approval_letter(app_data, decision)
```

### Fintech Integration
```python
# API endpoint integration
@app.route('/assess_credit', methods=['POST'])
def assess_credit():
    application_data = request.json
    
    # Validate input
    validation_result = app.validate_application(
        application_data, 
        application_data['entity_type']
    )
    
    if not validation_result['is_valid']:
        return jsonify({'error': validation_result['errors']}), 400
    
    # Make decision
    decision = app.make_decision(
        application_data, 
        application_data['entity_type']
    )
    
    return jsonify(decision)
```

### Portfolio Risk Management
```python
# Analyze existing portfolio under stress
portfolio = load_credit_portfolio()
stress_scenarios = ['recession', 'inflation_surge', 'market_crash']

portfolio_risk = {}
for scenario in stress_scenarios:
    scenario_results = []
    
    for loan in portfolio:
        # Re-assess each loan under stress
        stressed_decision = app.make_decision(
            loan['original_application'],
            loan['entity_type'],
            stress_scenario=scenario
        )
        scenario_results.append(stressed_decision)
    
    # Calculate portfolio metrics
    portfolio_risk[scenario] = {
        'avg_risk_score': np.mean([r['risk_score'] for r in scenario_results]),
        'approval_rate': len([r for r in scenario_results if r['decision'] == 'approved']) / len(scenario_results),
        'decision_changes': len([r for r in scenario_results if r.get('decision_change', False)])
    }

print("Portfolio Stress Test Results:")
for scenario, metrics in portfolio_risk.items():
    print(f"{scenario}: Avg Risk {metrics['avg_risk_score']:.3f}, Approval Rate {metrics['approval_rate']:.2%}")
```

## 🔧 Configuration & Customization

# Create application with custom settings
app = CreditApplication(min_credit_score=650, max_dti=0.40)
```

### Custom Economic Scenarios

    'unemployment_rate': 0.15,
    'inflation_rate': 0.001,
    'interest_rate': 0.001
}

# Apply custom scenario
app.economic_indicators.apply_custom_scenario(custom_scenario)
decision = app.make_decision(application, 'individual')
```

### Logging & Monitoring
```python
from credit_risk.logging_config import setup_logging, get_logger

# Setup logging
setup_logging(log_level='INFO', log_file='credit_decisions.log')
logger = get_logger('credit_assessment')

# Log decisions
decision = app.make_decision(application, 'individual')
logger.info(f"Credit decision made: {decision['decision']} for application {app_id}")
```
