Start with a decision someone in the organization might need to make. For example: which ticket buyers are most likely to renew, what content drives repeat engagement, how attendance varies by schedule factors, or which sponsorship assets generate the strongest response. Explain the question, clean the data, choose a reasonable method, show the result and finish with a recommendation or limitation. A beautiful dashboard without a clear decision is weaker than a simple analysis that changes what someone would do. Document your assumptions and make the project easy to understand for a non-technical reader.
