“Data science is the art of evidence-driven storytelling. You begin with raw, chaotic data. Then you clean, structure, and combine it—and, suddenly, the data starts to speak. Trends emerge, relationships take shape, and, as the patterns clarify, predictive models come alive, revealing the future almost as clearly as explaining the past.”
