That choice is deliberate as a test sandbox for pulling together analysis of structured and unstructured data, using an algorithmic engine, and then overlaying AI and agentic models to interpret, in particular, the unstructured data, and align it with the structured data outputs. This stems from my own work, reframed into an entertaining format with some competition and clear outcomes!</p>
