Data science
Data science here means the whole path from a question to a decision someone acts on, inside real organisations: a university deciding where students need support, a municipality seeing where service delivery breaks, a national network deciding which of 15,000 sites needs attention first, and an insurer understanding physical risk across its portfolio. The writing covers the other half of the job, which is building the capability around the models: the roadmap from analyst to someone trusted with production systems, and what a modern data scientist now needs beyond modelling.
