  • Target:
  • Unit of prediction:
  • Decision supported:

Data and split

  • Dataset:
  • Train/validation/test split:
  • Leakage checks completed:
  • Important data limits:

Baseline

  • Baseline model:
  • Baseline metric:
  • Why this baseline is fair:

Candidate models

Recommendation

Choose the simplest adequate model. If no model is adequate, say so.

Limitation note

Name at least one data, metric, stability, fairness, calibration, or maintenance limit.
