Mr.

According to EC-Council’s AI Program Manager (CAIPM) framework, Machine Learning systems are characterized by their ability to analyze structured or semi-structured data, generate predictions such as probabilities or likelihood estimates, and improve performance through iterative model updates based on refined data representation. The scenario clearly describes a predictive decision-support system that evaluates pricing scenarios and outputs likelihood estimates, which is a core use case of supervised or probabilistic Machine Learning models.

A key indicator is that improvements occur through “refining how business data is represented during model updates.” This aligns with Machine Learning practices such as feature engineering, data preprocessing, and retraining cycles. Additionally, the system remains stable unless explicitly updated, which reflects traditional ML lifecycle management where models are periodically retrained rather than continuously adapting in real time.

Deep Learning, while a subset of Machine Learning, is typically associated with complex neural networks handling unstructured data such as images, text, or speech, which is not indicated here. Generative AI focuses on content creation rather than predictive analytics, making it unsuitable. Agent Technologies involve autonomous decision-making and interaction with environments, which is also not described.

Therefore, the system best fits the definition of a Machine Learning-based decision-support system.
