A fancy model won’t magically compensate for poor understanding of your data.
A VERY common mistake in data analysis is jumping to complex solutions too early. AI has made this even easier by making sophisticated tools extremely accessible.
Sometimes, a linear model or a PCA already tells you most of the story.
Complexity has its place.
But using it too early often masks problems instead of solving them.
Often, the real bottleneck is not the model.
It’s how little we understand our data.
