Scenario

You are reviewing a regression model that predicts a continuous business outcome. The team wants to know which evaluation metrics matter most and how to read them.

Question

What metrics would you use to evaluate a regression model?

What the model is doing

The model outputs a numeric prediction, so the evaluation should focus on error size, variance explained, and stability across splits. The business cares about whether the predictions are accurate enough to support decisions, not just whether the model ranks cases correctly.
