Smarter Modeling Starts With Model IQ™

Outdated, one-time assumptions and manual deposit studies can’t keep up with volatile rates and shifting behavior. Behavioral modeling software delivers faster, consistent assumptions that support daily financial decisions, reducing surprises.

Empyrean Model IQ: Behavioral Modeling Made for Banks and Credit Unions

Empyrean Model IQ is a modular behavioral modeling software platform designed for banks and credit unions that need greater transparency, consistency, and control over their critical modeling assumptions.

Model validation software replaces static, one-time studies and opaque third-party models with ongoing, FI-specific calibration, testing, and governance. With integrated model validation software capabilities, Model IQ supports documented, auditable assumptions that flow into CECL, ALM, liquidity, and financial planning.

This enables faster updates, stronger defensibility, and more confident decision-making that cascades throughout an organization.

Why Choose Empyrean Model IQ

Deposit IQ

Model deposit decay, beta sensitivity, and early withdrawal behavior — including cannibalization analysis to separate new growth from internal balance transfers.

Loan IQ

Calibrate and backtest loan prepayments by product or segment. Use guided workflows for scenario planning, stress testing, and documentation.

Credit IQ

Build PD/LGD or net charge-off models using peer or internal data. Includes historical, regression, and cohort-based methodologies.

Model Library

Store validated models with assumptions, overlays, and audit documentation in one secure repository.

Comprehensive Analytics

Generate examiner-ready outputs with transparent calculations. Share insights across risk, planning, and leadership.

Guided Workflows

Simplify modeling with built-in workflows for validation, segmentation, and calibration — no in-house quants required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is behavioral modeling software for banks?

Behavioral modeling software helps banks quantify how customers actually behave when conditions change. This includes deposit sensitivity, loan prepayments, and credit performance.

Model IQ applies these behavioral insights directly to CECL, ALM, and liquidity planning. This ensures assumptions reflect real-world behavior rather than static averages.

Can finance teams use this without an analyst background?

Yes. Finance and risk professionals will find that support assumption setup, calibration, and review do not require advanced modeling expertise. Built-in documentation and transparent logic make it easy for teams to understand results, explain changes, and collaborate across departments.

How does Model IQ help with model validation?

Model IQ includes built-in model validation support, including version control, change tracking, and full audit trails. Teams can compare their assumptions over time, document rationale, and retain historical versions without manual files or spreadsheets.

What makes Model IQ different from other AI modeling tools?

Model IQ is purpose-built for banking use cases, not generic AI modeling. It supports flexible scenario analysis and integrates directly with CECL, ALM, liquidity, and planning workflows. Assumptions flow through the platform without exports, rekeying, or reconciliation, eliminating handoffs that would otherwise slow teams.
