Why is it important to prioritise ML opportunities based on business alignment and ROI?

A) To build as many ML models as possible.B) To follow industry trends and implement popular ML technologies.C) To ensure ML projects replace all manual decision-making processes.D) To focus on ML initiatives that drive measurable business impact.

Why is it important to convert business needs into well-defined ML problem statements?

A) It ensures that data scientists can implement any algorithm of their choice.B) It speeds up data collection and reduces costs.C) It eliminates the need for stakeholder input after project kickoff.D) It helps align technical teams with business objectives and success criteria.

What is the purpose of evaluating technical constraints when scoping an ML solution?

A) To simplify the problem by using only readily available data.B) To determine whether the ML model will require real-time processing.C) To ensure the ML project does not require engineering resources.D) To maximise computational complexity and use advanced deep learning models.

What is the main advantage of using ROI models like NPV and IRR when building a business case for an ML project?

A) They help justify the investment by showing long-term financial benefits.B) They ensure the ML model will work with 100% accuracy.C) They replace the need for a proof of concept (PoC).D) They guarantee that executives will approve the ML initiative.

What is the most effective way to gather business requirements for an ML solution?

A) Ask the data team to define the problem based on data availability.B) Review old project documentation and reuse templates.C) Start building the model and refine the problem later.D) Interview stakeholders to understand goals, pain points and constraints.

Why is it important to define assumptions and constraints when planning an ML project?

A) To ensure the ML model doesn't need updating after launch.B) To minimise collaboration between business and technical teams.C) To set realistic expectations around data, limitations and trade-offs.D) To simplify the project by avoiding advanced ML methods.

Which of the following is the best way to frame a business-aligned ML problem?

A) We want to improve customer segmentation and believe ML can help identify patterns.B) We want to experiment with AI because competitors are using it.C) We will build a deep learning model and find a use case later.D) We need to collect more data before talking to stakeholders.

What's the most effective way to present an ML proposal to non-technical stakeholders?

A) Share detailed model training logs and accuracy plots.B) Explain which algorithm performed best in testing.C) Focus on how the ML solution improves key business KPIs like cost savings or retention.D) Emphasise the innovation of using advanced ML methods.

How should ML opportunities be prioritised?

A) Choose the ones that are easiest to implement first.B) Focus on projects that support measurable business goals and have strong ROI potential.C) Start with the most complex algorithms to showcase capability.D) Let each team vote on the use case they find most exciting.

In which scenario would low-latency performance be most important?

A) A real-time product recommendation engine on an e-commerce site.B) A quarterly analysis of customer retention trends.C) A backend reporting tool for finance used once per month.D) A campaign review after the holiday season.
