What's Data Science Reporting
summary
Argues that data science reports must show the model’s business impact not just ML metrics, and prescribes one central metric (example: money per passerby) with a daily automated comparison before/after model revenue so stakeholders see how much the model adds. Lists concrete components: measurability, format, channel, alerts, audience. Recommends simple channels and tools like Slack and Google Sheets or Python/R dashboards, automatic alerts on metric drift, and highlights surprises such as conversion sometimes being higher without the model.
