Business & Research Problem Framing
Business & Research Problem Framing groups the core ideas a learner needs at the 1 · problem framing & data collection stage. Work through the lessons in order when new to the area, or use them independently as a reference when implementing an analysis.

Stakeholders and decision contextStakeholders and decision context is a practical concept within Business & Research Problem Framing. It helps turn the broader workflow stage “1 · Problem Framing & Data Collection” into an explicit analytical decision that can be explained, implemented and checked. The concept should be understood in terms of purpose, mechanism, assumptions, evidence and downstream consequences.
02Translate a question into an analytical taskTranslate a question into an analytical task is a practical concept within Business & Research Problem Framing. It helps turn the broader workflow stage “1 · Problem Framing & Data Collection” into an explicit analytical decision that can be explained, implemented and checked. The concept should be understood in terms of purpose, mechanism, assumptions, evidence and downstream consequences.
03Define population and scopeDefine population and scope is a practical concept within Business & Research Problem Framing. It helps turn the broader workflow stage “1 · Problem Framing & Data Collection” into an explicit analytical decision that can be explained, implemented and checked. The concept should be understood in terms of purpose, mechanism, assumptions, evidence and downstream consequences.
04Define KPIs and success metricsDefine KPIs and success metrics is an evaluation quantity that compresses a particular aspect of predictive behaviour into a number. Its usefulness depends on whether that aspect matches the real decision cost, class prevalence and intended model output.
05Predictive vs causal questionsPredictive vs causal questions is a practical concept within Business & Research Problem Framing. It helps turn the broader workflow stage “1 · Problem Framing & Data Collection” into an explicit analytical decision that can be explained, implemented and checked. The concept should be understood in terms of purpose, mechanism, assumptions, evidence and downstream consequences.
06Assumptions and decision costsAssumptions and decision costs is a practical concept within Business & Research Problem Framing. It helps turn the broader workflow stage “1 · Problem Framing & Data Collection” into an explicit analytical decision that can be explained, implemented and checked. The concept should be understood in terms of purpose, mechanism, assumptions, evidence and downstream consequences.
