The model isn’t aware of that stuff. They feed groups into the model, it might be grouped by zip code. But there isn’t a variable for zip code in the model. The model just forecasts LTV and nothing else, from transaction histories.

Do you know this because you work on the model?

Should be a yes or no answer? Either you worked on the algorithm or you didn't.

I asked the question because they spoke with the assurance of an insider... so I wondered if they worked on it.
