📊 CREDIGIG - COMPREHENSIVE PROJECT REPORT

Executive Summary

Project Name: CrediGig - Credit Scoring & Loan Management Platform for Gig Workers
Version: 1.0.0
Status: Production Ready ✅
Last Updated: January 25, 2026
Repository: Disumakadiya/DU_Hacks
Current Branch: urval

CrediGig is a full-stack web application designed to assess creditworthiness of gig workers (delivery personnel, freelancers) using machine learning and provide loan management capabilities for financial institutions.

🎯 Project Overview

Problem Statement

Gig workers often lack traditional credit histories, making it difficult for them to access loans from banks. CrediGig solves this by:

Analyzing alternative data (UPI earnings, delivery frequency, work consistency)
Using ML to predict credit risk
Providing instant credit scores (300-900 scale)
Enabling banks to manage loan applications efficiently

Solution

A three-tier architecture platform with:

Frontend - React-based user interface for workers and admins
Backend - Express.js API with JWT authentication
ML Service - Flask-based Random Forest credit scoring model
Database - PostgreSQL for data persistence

🔐 Authentication & Security System

Authentication Flow

User Registration

POST /api/register
{
  "username": "string",
  "email": "string",
  "password": "string (min 6 chars)",
  "fullName": "string",
  "role": "worker|admin (optional)"
}

Response:
{
  "success": true,
  "user": {
    "id": "uuid",
    "username": "string",
    "email": "string",
    "fullName": "string",
    "role": "string"
  },
  "token": "jwt_token"
}

User Login

POST /api/login
{
  "username": "string",
  "password": "string"
}

Response:
{
  "success": true,
  "user": { /* user object */ },
  "token": "jwt_token"
}

Security Features

Feature	Implementation	Details
Password Hashing	bcryptjs	10 salt rounds
Token Type	JWT (JSON Web Token)	Signed with secret key
Token Expiration	7 days	Configurable
Token Storage	localStorage (client)	Frontend persistence
Token Transmission	Bearer token in header	`Authorization: Bearer {token}`
Role-Based Access	Middleware	admin/worker roles
Protected Routes	authMiddleware	Verifies token on each request
Database Security	Prepared statements	SQL injection prevention
Unique Constraints	Username, Email	Prevents duplicates
Password Requirements	Min 6 characters	Client & server validation

Middleware Architecture

// Authentication Middleware
authMiddleware → Verifies JWT token → Attaches user to req.user → Next()

// Admin Middleware (requires authMiddleware first)
adminMiddleware → Checks req.user.role === 'admin' → Next() or 403

// Worker Middleware (requires authMiddleware first)
workerMiddleware → Checks req.user.role === 'worker' → Next() or 403

Test Credentials

Username	Password	Role	Email	Purpose
worker1	w123	worker	worker1@credigig.io	Worker testing
banker1	b123	admin	banker1@credigig.io	Admin testing
demo_worker	demo123	worker	demo@credigig.io	Demo account

Worker Features

1. Dashboard (`/dashboard`)

Functionality:

View current credit score (300-900 scale)
See risk category (Low/Medium/High)
Earnings summary (daily UPI earnings)
Performance metrics (delivery frequency, work consistency)
Loan eligibility status
Quick access to loan application

Components Used:

ScoreCard - Displays credit score with color coding
PerformanceCard - Shows delivery and consistency metrics
EarningsSummary - Displays earning statistics
LoanEligibilityCard - Shows loan status

Data Flow:

DashboardPage → API /history → Latest assessment → Display cards

2. Risk Assessment Form (`/loan-eligibility-input`)

Functionality:

Input worker name
Enter daily UPI earnings (₹)
Enter delivery frequency (per week)
Enter work consistency (days/week, 0-7)
Optional: Enter existing debt (₹)
Submit for ML prediction
Receive instant credit score

Validation Rules:

Worker name: Required, non-empty
UPI earnings: Required, numeric, ≥0
Delivery frequency: Required, integer, ≥0
Work consistency: Required, integer, 0-7
Existing debt: Optional, numeric, ≥0

System-Derived Rating: Automatically computed based on:

Rating = 1 + 
  (min(earnings/1200, 1) * 1.5) +     // Earnings score (max 1.5)
  (min(frequency/25, 1) * 1.5) +      // Frequency score (max 1.5)
  (consistency/7 * 2)                 // Consistency score (max 2.0)

Result: 1.0 - 5.0 scale

Backend Business Logic

System-Derived Rating Calculation

function computeSystemDerivedRating(upi_earnings, delivery_frequency, work_consistency) {
  // Earnings contribution (max 1.5 points)
  const earningsScore = Math.min(upi_earnings / 1200, 1) * 1.5;
  
  // Delivery frequency contribution (max 1.5 points)
  const frequencyScore = Math.min(delivery_frequency / 25, 1) * 1.5;
  
  // Work consistency contribution (max 2 points)
  const consistencyScore = (work_consistency / 7) * 2;
  
  // Base score of 1, plus performance additions
  const rating = 1 + earningsScore + frequencyScore + consistencyScore;
  
  // Clamp between 1 and 5
  return Math.round(Math.min(Math.max(rating, 1), 5) * 10) / 10;
}

Example:

Earnings: ₹800/day → 800/1200 * 1.5 = 1.0
Frequency: 20/week → 20/25 * 1.5 = 1.2
Consistency: 6/7 days → 6/7 * 2 = 1.71
Total: 1 + 1.0 + 1.2 + 1.71 = 4.91 ⭐

Debt Ratio Calculation

function computeDebtRatio(upi_earnings, existing_debt) {
  const monthlyIncome = upi_earnings * 30;
  if (monthlyIncome <= 0) return null;
  return Math.round((existing_debt / monthlyIncome) * 100) / 100;
}

Example:

Earnings: ₹500/day → ₹15,000/month
Debt: ₹3,000
Debt Ratio: 3000/15000 = 0.20 (20%)

Loan Approval Workflow

Worker submits assessment
         ↓
ML generates credit score
         ↓
Loan application created (status: pending)
         ↓
Admin reviews application
         ↓
Admin approves or rejects
         ↓
If approved: Set interest rate & amount
         ↓
Worker notified of decision

Risk Categories

Category	Credit Score Range	Default Probability	Loan Eligibility
Low Risk	700-900	<20%	High eligibility
Medium Risk	500-699	20-40%	Moderate eligibility
High Risk	300-499	>40%	Low eligibility

Re-run Schema Setup:

node server/neon_setup.js

Migrate Users Table:

node server/migrate_users_table.js

Seed Auth Users:

node server/update_auth_users.js

Health Checks

Backend Health:

curl http://localhost:3000/api/health

ML Service Health:

curl http://localhost:5001/health

Common Issues & Solutions

Issue: Backend won't start

Solution: Check DATABASE_URL in .env
Verify: npm install completed
Check: Port 3000 available

Issue: ML predictions fail

Solution: Ensure ML service running
Check: http://localhost:5001/health
Verify: Model files exist (.pkl)

Issue: Login fails

Solution: Check database connection
Verify: Users seeded correctly
Check: JWT_SECRET in .env

Issue: Frontend build fails

Solution: Delete node_modules, run npm install
Check: Node version (v16+)
Verify: All dependencies installed
