Use
Prediction only becomes useful when its decision context and limits are visible.

ML Product Proof
A model workflow tied to target framing, evaluation, serving shape, limitations, and the product decision it could support.
Definition
Why this topic matters.
Start
Open starting routeRelated work
Proof records.
Turning a classification problem into a maintainable proof record: target framing, preprocessing, model comparison, holdout evaluation, API serving, reports, and threshold-cost awareness.
Takeaway
It shows practical ML product discipline: reproducible preprocessing, model comparison, local serving, testable interfaces, model-card thinking, and the ability to connect prediction output back to threshold costs and product decisions.
Boundary: Use the public repository, README, tracked reports, and dataset framing. Do not imply commercial deployment, customer data, live personalization, automated intervention, revenue impact, production monitoring, or a tuned decision policy.

When a prototype should stay a prototype
A prototype is useful when it clarifies what still has not been proven.
Some work should remain labeled as proof record, product study, evaluation lab, or in progress until source, user, reliability, and product boundaries are sharper.
