While the NCR might suggest similar risk levels for vaults with the same collateral-to-debt ratio, the ARS can differentiate based on the specific MCR requirements. 2. **System Adaptability**: The MCR Component in the ARS allows the system to adapt to changing market conditions or risk preferences by adjusting how the MCR influences the overall score. 3. **Risk Distribution**: The ARS creates a wider spread of risk scores compared to NCR alone. This allows for more granular risk categorization and potentially more precise liquidation or incentive mechanisms. 4. **Collateralization Incentives**: By incorporating the MCR into the risk score, the ARS may encourage users to maintain higher collateralization ratios relative to their specific vault requirements, potentially increasing overall system stability. 5. **Complex Risk Factors**: The ARS can potentially incorporate more complex risk factors through adjustments to the MCR Component calculation, allowing for a more sophisticated risk assessment model. ### 100 Vaults Sample Data (simulation.py)

With an MCR\_Factor of 0.2, we obtain the following results: * Average Impact: 21.11% * Median Impact: 19.22% * Minimum Vault Impact: 0.97% * Maximum Vault Impact: 52.23% In this context, "Impact" refers to the relative weight of the MCR (Minimum Collateralization Ratio) component in the ARS (Adjusted Redemption Score) compared to the NCR (Normalized Collateralization Ratio) component. Our current goal is to achieve an average impact of approximately 20%. Given these results, an MCR\_Factor of 0.2 appears to be an appropriate choice. This factor allows for a balanced influence of both MCR and NCR components in the ARS Score calculation, with the MCR component contributing, on average, about one-fifth of the total score. ### ### Data Visualization

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.keikofinance.com/redemption-mechanism/ars-simulations.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
