Question
A data scientist has constructed a model that meets the minimum performance requirements specified in the proposal for a prediction project. The data scientist thinks the model's accuracy should be improved, but the proposed deadline is approaching. Which of the following actions should the data scientist take first?
- A. Continue collecting data.
- B. Request additional funding.
- C. Consult the key project stakeholder. Correct
- D. Test additional model specifications.
Explanation
The model already meets the agreed requirements, so whether to trade the deadline for more accuracy is a business decision that belongs to the key stakeholder. Consulting them first sets expectations and decides if extra work is worth it. Collecting more data, testing more specifications or asking for funding all extend scope or cost without that agreement.
