MACHINE LEARNING BY BUSINESS PROBLEM

What can machine learning do with your business data?

Start with the decision you need to improve. Not an algorithm. These guides connect business questions to machine learning for rows and columns, real datasets, benchmark results, and a Google Sheets workflow you can try.

Choose the problem space you recognize

No machine learning background required. Each guide explains which problems fit structured data, what inputs matter, how to read a benchmark, and where privacy or decision risk needs extra care.

Healthcare & life sciences

Risk prediction · diagnosis support · patient outcomes · resource planning

Healthcare data often comes in rows and columns: laboratory values, observations, diagnoses, utilization history, appointments, and operational measures. Machine learning can prioritize review, estimate risk, and help plan resources. The intended decision and the limits of the data must stay explicit.

Automotive & mobility

Vehicle classification · valuation · maintenance · fleet decisions

Automotive and mobility decisions use specifications, operating cost, usage, condition, sensor summaries, and service history. Tabular models turn those attributes into estimates for appraisal, fleet selection, maintenance, and quality review.

Public services & risk

Policy analysis · risk triage · fairness · resource allocation

Public-service datasets often cover eligibility, income, safety, demand, or risk. They explain the mechanics of classification. They also show why prediction and decision-making aren't the same thing. Historical outcomes reflect institutions, access, measurement choices, and past policy. They don't reflect individual behavior alone.

WHY TABULAR ML?

Most operational decisions already live in rows and columns

Customer records, transactions, bookings, measurements, asset registers, and case histories are tabular data. A classification model predicts a category such as churn or approval. A regression model predicts a number such as price, demand, or duration.

The benchmark pages show how models performed on held-out data. Each result describes one dataset and one evaluation. It doesn't promise the same result on your data. The domain guides explain target definitions, useful inputs, evaluation choices, and operational consequences.

Across these guides, 21 real datasets provide concrete examples rather than invented case studies.
