A leaf-collection routing model was trained on last October only. The bureau wants to go live this fall without testing on a held-out season. What should the leader require?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Hold out an unseen season and treat that validation as a go-live gate. Last October’s training-month score is not this fall. Refuse go-live until that unseen season is checked.
Full Explanation
Validation on data the model has not seen is a go-live gate, not a courtesy. A score on last October only measures the training month, not this fall. A held-out season is the cheap way to see whether the routes still work. Leaders should refuse go-live until that unseen season is checked.
