Key Points

• Translate the business-understanding phase into stakeholder and policy context mapping
• Use data-understanding to profile source quality before committing to model pathways
• Keep modeling cycles short and tied to a decision checkpoint, not only model metrics
• Evaluate with operational usability criteria alongside statistical performance
• Deploy with governance notes, ownership mapping, and post-deployment monitoring

Implementation Note

For this note, attach one project example where CRISP-DM reduced rework and improved stakeholder alignment.
