A data scientist is presenting the recommendations from a monthslong modeling and experiment process to the company’s Chief Executive Officer. Which of the following is the best set of artifacts to include in the presentation?
A.
Methods, data overview, results, recommendations, and charts
B.
Results, recommendations, justifications, and clear charts
C.
Recommendation, charts, justifications, code reviews, and results
D.
Methodology, code snippets, findings, data tables, and p-values
→ For executive-level presentations, the focus should be on strategic outcomes. Therefore, concise results, clear actionable recommendations, visual summaries (charts), and minimal justifications are best. Technical details such as p-values, code, or full methods are too granular.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A: Too method-heavy for executive audiences.
C: Includes code reviews — not suitable for a CEO.
D: Overly technical for high-level stakeholders.
