Notice of Change: Exclusion of Offboarding and Offboarded Products from Product Risk Assessment
Change Notice Date: August 26th, 2026
Change Target Date: September 29th, 2026
Fenergo is improving how the Product Risk Assessment task treats products that are leaving a client relationship. Products that are being offboarded, that have already been offboarded, or that are marked for deletion will no longer contribute to product risk assessments.
This change addresses long-standing feedback from clients: a product that a customer is in the process of closing, has already closed, or that is pending removal no longer represents live exposure, and continuing to score it can overstate an entity's product risk — and, where product risk feeds entity risk, the entity's overall risk position.
For tenants with the Product domain enabled, the change is available in all non-live tenants from August 26th, 2026, and will be enabled in all live tenants from September 29th, 2026. This communication serves as notice ahead of that rollout.
What Does This Mean for You as a Fenergo User?
Once this change is in effect, a product is excluded from the Product Risk Assessment task if its lifecycle status is any of the following:
OffboardingOffboarded
Excluded products are removed before the Product Risk Assessment begins. They are excluded from re-calculation of their individual risk score/rating, and they do not contribute to the aggregate product risk written back to the entity when Save to Entity is enabled.
Because a product's lifecycle status also tells you where it sits in the review cycle, the two exclusions apply to different populations: only a draft product can carry a status of Offboarding, and only a verified product can carry a status of Offboarded.
Excluded products are not displayed within the Product Risk Assessment task. For full transparency, they are recorded on the assessment result under excludedAggregateAssessments (visible when retrieving the assessment via API or using your browser's dev tools), with each entry carrying the product's aggregateId and lifecycleStatus. This allows you to confirm when and why products were excluded from any given assessment. Surfacing excluded products directly within the task view is planned for a future release.

What to expect:
- This change applies only to risk assessments executed on or after the date it is enabled for your tenant. Existing product risk scores and ratings, and the entity risk values already derived from them, are not recalculated, restated or otherwise altered. No historical data is changed, and no backfill or migration is performed. Values change only when the Product Risk Assessment is next triggered for that entity — within a new journey, for example. At that point:
- If the task is configured to calculate risk for draft products ('Only Assess Products Created/Updated Within Journey' is enabled), the system will only calculate product risk for those with a status of 'Onboarding' or 'In Review', it will exclude any with a status of 'Offboarding' (any previously stored product risk score/rating on that product will remain unchanged).
- If the task is configured to aggregate Product Risk to the Entity ('Save to Entity' is enabled) the system will exclude the stored risk scores/ratings of products with 'Offboarding' and 'Offboarded' status from that aggregate.

Validating ahead of the target date:
- The change is live in non-live tenants from August 26th, 2026. We encourage you to use the period before September 29th to run your existing journey schemes in a non-live tenant and compare the product risk and entity risk outputs against your current production values, so that any change in risk position is understood and agreed with your risk and compliance stakeholders in advance. If your tenants use any mitigating configuration to adapt for the past inclusion of 'Offboarding' and 'Offboarded' products, you can unwind that configuration as part of your testing. -->
-
No action is required to receive this change:
- It will apply automatically to all Product domain enabled tenants after 29th September — there is no opt-in, no configuration change, and no journey scheme update needed. We do not anticipate that any client will need to opt out, as the revised behaviour leads to a more accurate reflection of product risk that has been highly requested by our customers.

Enabling earlier:
- If you have completed your review and would like the change applied to your live tenant before September 29th, 2026, please contact your Fenergo Client Partner and we will arrange it.
Why Are We Making This Change?
Product risk exists to describe the risk an institution actually carries through the products a client holds. Until now, the Product Risk Assessment task made no distinction based on where a product sat in its lifecycle — a product a client had asked to close was assessed on exactly the same footing as one they had just opened.
Where an offboarding product carried a high risk rating, it could still affect an entity's aggregate product risk, and therefore its entity risk, even though the institution's exposure to that product was winding down. Reviewers may have needed to override risk ratings to ensure the appropriate level of due diligence was applied.
Excluding offboarding and offboarded products produces a product risk outcome that reflects the client's live relationship. This makes risk outcomes easier to evidence to reviewers, auditors and regulators, and removes a recurring source of unnecessary manual explanation for analysts.
