Rapid Battle Cards 16–30

  1. Predictive vs Operational analytics — estimate likely outcome vs apply analytics to live operations/streams and trigger response.
  2. Choose source vs Ingest source — decide relevance/reliability/fitness vs obtain/onboard data.
  3. Metadata vs Data Quality — context/origin/meaning/lineage vs fitness/trust/completeness/consistency.
  4. Data quality vs Model quality — reliability of evidence/input vs soundness/generalization of analytical model.
  5. Granularity vs Timeliness — level of detail vs how current/frequent data is.
  6. Training vs Validation — fit parameters/model vs select/tune and estimate selection error.
  7. Validation vs Test — influence selection/tuning vs independent final generalization check.
  8. Over-fitting vs generic underperformance — training-specific noise learning vs poor result that may have many causes.
  9. Outlier vs Error — unusual observation that may be valid/important vs incorrect observation proven defective.
  10. Static vs Interactive visualization — fixed presentation vs user exploration/manipulation.
  11. MPP shared-nothing vs Distributed file-based — partitioned parallel analytical processing vs flexible lower-cost file landing/storage.
  12. Map vs Reduce — transform/process partitions vs aggregate/produce result after shuffle.
  13. Business relevance vs Technical feasibility — worth doing/value fit vs can it be built/run/maintained within constraints.
  14. Privacy at source vs Recombination risk — sensitivity visible in original data vs sensitivity/identity emerges after combining/filtering.
  15. Technical usage metric vs Learning/value metric — capacity/hotspot/activity health vs insight/model/business outcome evidence.
