Your task is to build an end-to-end analytics solution using:
• Python for all data cleaning, transformations, joins, and exploratory analysis
• MySQL to store the final cleaned and analysis-ready tables
• Power BI or Tableau to build the final dashboard connected directly to MySQL
You must also define your own problem statements based on patterns you discover in the dataset and
generate actionable, data-driven insights -the type of insights leadership would use for decision-making
