A data scientist has built a model that predicts customer lifetime value. The model is technically sound, but the marketing team does not use it because they do not understand how to interpret the output. The data scientist needs to increase adoption. Which action is most effective?

Ask the data engineer to create a new dashboard that shows the raw data behind the predictions.

Make the model more complex to improve accuracy, even if it becomes harder to explain.

Create a simple one-page guide with examples that explains how to interpret the model's predictions and how to act on them.

Send the marketing team the model's technical documentation and expect them to read it.
