Explain the evaluation setup
The forecasting bullet identifies an eight-week holdout period and compares two models on the same store-product series. A metric without a baseline, time window and population is difficult to interpret. In your resume, name enough of that setup to make the comparison meaningful.
Separate model metrics from business results
A lower forecast error is evidence about predictions. It does not, by itself, establish fewer stockouts or higher revenue. This example reports the forecast result and explains how planners used it without assigning the entire supply-chain outcome to the model.
Show what production ownership involved
The schema check, missing-value alert and rollback notes describe how the candidate kept a pipeline usable. Include one failure mode you detected and the action you took. Deployment alone does not describe ongoing reliability work.
Make a project reproducible
For a public portfolio, use a shareable dataset and include the baseline, split strategy and limitations. A notebook that explains how future information was excluded is more useful than an unexplained model score.
