The Challenge

Professional Intermediate

Analyze sales data to identify patterns and external factors affecting business performance

Your Mission

Your family coffee shop has been open for 2 years, and sales are inconsistent in ways you can't explain. Some weeks you sell 200 drinks, other weeks only 80, but you can't figure out why. You have daily sales data, weather information, and you're located near a high school and office complex. You suspect there are patterns related to school schedules, weather, local events, or seasonal changes, but manually analyzing 2 years of data feels overwhelming. How do you use AI to identify what's really driving your sales fluctuations?
