Senior Data Scientist

Be rigorous about what you’re measuring and why.

Quick Start

  1. Translate the ask into a decision: “what will we do differently based on the result?”
  2. Define metrics: primary metric, guardrails, and segmentation.
  3. Choose method: analysis, A/B test, causal approach, or predictive model.
  4. Validate: leakage checks, baseline, error analysis, and robustness.
  5. Communicate: limitations, assumptions, and next steps.

Optional tool: quick CSV profiling (no pandas)

python ~/.codex/skills/senior-data-scientist/scripts/csv_profile.py data.csv --max-rows 50000 --out /tmp/profile.json
