You use scores in IBM® Unica® Optimize to rank possible offers for each customer using a patent-pending optimization algorithm. The higher the score you assign to a contact, the more desirable you are making that contact.
Optimize maximizes the sum of scores in the OCT.
Scores are numeric values that you provide. A higher score represents a more desirable contact. If Optimize must choose one offer over another to use in a campaign, it can select the offer with the higher score.
During optimization, Optimize maximizes the sum of scores of the surviving or optimized contacts, based on the optimization rules and constraints.
You can set up scores in Optimize using one of the following methods:
