Core Capabilities

• Experiment design & analysis — hypothesis framing, power analysis and sample sizing, randomization, SRM monitoring, and post-hoc significance testing.
• Feature engineering — profiling, candidate generation (temporal/aggregation/interaction/text), selection (variance, correlation, SHAP/RFE), and leakage validation.
• Model training & evaluation — stratified/temporal splits, baselines, hyperparameter tuning, cross-validation, calibration, and fairness checks.
• Production deployment — containerized serving, input/output drift monitoring (KS/PSI), canary rollouts, and latency/error SLAs.
• Causal inference — propensity score matching, difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity, instrumental variables, and assumption/placebo testing.

When to Use

• Designing or analyzing an A/B test.
• Building a feature engineering pipeline.
• Training, evaluating, or deploying an ML model.
• Estimating treatment effects from observational data.

Clarify First

Before running an analysis or pipeline, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

• Task — A/B test design / feature engineering / model evaluation / causal inference (selects the script and workflow)
• Dataset & target variable — what you are modeling or measuring (drives feature generation and leakage validation)
• Decision metric & minimum effect — the metric and the smallest effect worth detecting (drives power analysis and sample size)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.
