Registering the whole pipeline, not just the model

Most machine learning models produce a probability, but many times logic is applied to that prediction to produce a decision. That last logic step often lives in a downstream script disconnected from the model it depends on, easy to lose when the model is refreshed. Using the home equity (HMEQ) dataset, this post walks through a practical alternative in SAS Model Studio. A SAS Code node placed after the modeling node weights the predicted default probability by the requested loan amount to produce expected loss in dollars, and the new Model Registration node (2026.05) accumulates that logic into a single model registered in SAS Model Manager. The result is a model and its decision logic captured as one governed, versioned artifact, so whoever scores the model gets the decision-ready output computed the same way every time.
