Forecasting with AI?

How are you guys making decisions about how much discount to put on products, how do you plan supply / item velocity, how do you decide about your marketing spend and mix?

At my previous employer we had data scientists for this, now that I started my own business I don’t have this. I tried to ask claude, but the answers just look made up.

In the day and age of AI being everywhere there must be a way to do what a data scientist does without hiring data scientist right?

EDIT: on r/askdatascience someone recommended a tool called Qombra, looks like what I was l looking for, trying that now...

How do you guys do EDA when there are a lot of features?

I’ve been working on an ML project and this is my first time dealing with a dataset with a lot of features (around 60).

I’m kinda stuck on how to approach the EDA. With smaller datasets, I usually check the features one by one, look at distributions, missing values, outliers, relationships, etc. But with 50–60 features, I’m finding it really difficult to figure out what to focus on and what I can skip.

Do you guys actually do EDA on every feature, or is there some better way to approach this?

Would love to know how you handle this when working on real ML projects.
