Problem

Scenario

You have launched a model and stakeholders want to know whether it is actually delivering business value, not just looking good on offline metrics. You need a clear way to connect model performance to the outcome the business cares about and identify where the model is falling short.

Question

What You Need to Connect

  • Model metrics such as precision, recall, and calibration
  • Business KPIs such as churn reduction, cost per saved user, and net value
  • Operational constraints such as outreach capacity and budget
  • Segment-level performance to locate where the model underdelivers
