🧭 PIERS Framework Lab

A structured method for identifying which business problems are genuinely suited to machine learning, using a five-factor checklist and a worked example of a well-specified project brief.

Score a candidate business problem against the five PIERS factors and watch a 3D radar crystal rise from a pentagon platform — its shape, color and central beam reveal at a glance whether the problem is genuinely ready for machine learning.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each pylon's height encodes one factor score — Pattern, Impact, Examples, Repeatability, Simple action. The faceted cap and outline trace the overall profile, a dashed ring marks the pass threshold, and the core glows and beams green only when every factor clears the bar.

🎮 How to Use

Drag the five sliders to score a real or hypothetical problem from 0–10. Toggle the threshold ring, or load a worked example — a well-framed churn-prediction brief, a one-off decision, a vague metric, or a textbook ideal case — to see the crystal reshape instantly.

💡 Did You Know?

Most failed ML initiatives aren't killed by weak models — they're killed by weak problem selection: predicting something nobody will act on, or something too rare to have learnable structure in the first place.
