Project Overview

Use this page to orient readers to the data science project itself. Replace the placeholder prompts with real content as your work progresses.

Executive Summary

  • Problem statement: What business/research question are you answering?
  • Stakeholders: Who will consume the insights/models?
  • Success metrics: Define quantitative or qualitative measures of success.
  • Timeline: Current phase, major milestones, expected delivery dates.

Objectives & Scope

  • Primary objectives (bulleted list).
  • Out-of-scope considerations or known exclusions.
  • Assumptions and constraints (data availability, compute limits, compliance).

Project Workflow

  1. Data acquisition – summary of data sources to be ingested (see “Data & Experimentation”).
  2. Exploration & analysis – notebooks, hypothesis generation.
  3. Feature engineering & modelling – pipelines covered in “Modeling Strategy”.
  4. Evaluation & results – reporting cadence and stakeholders (see “Results & Reporting”).
  5. Deployment or delivery – how the findings/models will be consumed.

Repository Highlights

  • README.md – quickstart commands and developer workflow.
  • scripts/run_pipeline.py – example training pipeline (supports --demo).
  • tests/unit/ – unit tests demonstrating expected behaviour.
  • docs/ – these documentation pages; publish via GitHub Pages.

How to Contribute

  • Update this page whenever objectives, scope, or milestones shift.
  • Link to deeper documentation (e.g., dedicated experiment logs, dashboards, presentations).
  • Use consistent headings across sections so teammates can quickly find information.
