Having high expectations by stakeholders on some ‘AI’ magic when a heuristic will get us 80% there in 10% of the time

IME a number of Data Scientists reinforce this thinking. When people think you are are a genius, it's painful to admit that 80% of project goals can be achieved with a simple heuristic.

It's incredible how many "Data Science" problems can be solved with a better dashboard that enables people to look at data in a more useful way.

Heuristics are way underrated! I’d wager it’s more like 90% there in 1% of the time.
