3. We are successfully taking actions on our predictions, so we are done
• Assumptions are key• Reality changes• Models need TLC
4. Let’s minimize our assumptions and let powerful analytics algorithms do the heavy lifting
• Assumptions capture domain knowledge• Life cycle management vs. model complexity
5. Data does not lie, so we need to act on what the data tells us
• Poor quality / incomplete inputs• Off-key assumptions and models• Interpretation bias
