As we delved into our dataset, we kept an eye out for things that seemed a bit unusual or didn’t quite fit the usual patterns. This led us to tweak our dataset to make sure it was ready for a closer look.
At the same time, I started making some educated guesses—basically, forming ideas that would help me figure out what to look at next. One interesting thought we had was whether how full hotels are might have something to do with how many people are working. It’s like a guess that guides us to focus on specific parts of the economic indicators I was checking out.
