To create the demand we need to find out new market niches that are not satisfied by the current establishment of companies. If we want this to happen we need to understand the source of the demand in our case which is the customer base. The customers are not typically one homogeneous group. They can be divided into groups or segments, the process is called customer segmentation. This can be done based on several different criteria: Geographic – where we live determines the taste of the products and services. This can include the latitude, longitude, climate, landscape where you live affects your lifestyle and your preferences.

“Every Data scientist soon or later is challenged by flask 🙂” Sergi Sergiev loves to say. Many of us data scientists are doing various models with exposure to different segments like Retail, Ecommerce, Finance, Gaming industry or many other, but we all want to see our models live in production and normally there is a need to deal with developers. Our work as a consultant is to define(finalize) the task, dive deeper, explore and clean the data, redefine the requirements, speak with the domain experts and then start making or using AI magic with our tools.
