WORKBENCH NOTE
A README is the story and navigation for a project, not a duplicate of the notebook. Start with the reader’s question: what was the problem, what did you do, and what did the evidence support?
# Project Title
- Use a specific title that names the domain or decision, not only the tool used.
## Problem and Why It Matters
- State the business, analytical, or research problem in plain language.
- Explain why an answer would be useful without inventing business impact.
## Data and Objective
- Describe the source, unit of observation, timeframe, and important limitations.
- List the key question, target, or objective the project addresses.
## Approach and Important Decisions
- Summarize the workflow: cleaning, EDA, modeling if relevant, and validation.
- Call out decisions that materially shaped the result, such as exclusions, split strategy, or metrics.
## Key Findings, Visuals, and Limitations
- Lead with a few evidence-backed findings and include visuals that make them easier to inspect.
- State what the analysis cannot establish, including small samples, missingness, or non-causal relationships.
## Recommendations and Next Steps
- Suggest actions proportionate to the evidence.
- Describe the next data, analysis, or validation step that would reduce uncertainty.
## Project Structure and How to Reproduce
- Show where data, notebooks, source files, and outputs live.
- Give concise setup and reproduction instructions, including assumptions a reviewer needs.
