A clear statement of the problem: Which output best fulfills this step?

Defining business context and use case means stating the problem, users, the decision supported, and the constraints and success metrics.

1. A finalized model architecture and hyperparameter search grid, chosen before the intended decision and the affected users have been described.

   Plausible as a real deliverable, but architecture choices belong after the use case is framed, not in place of it.
2. A marketing summary of the expected efficiency gains, without specifying who is affected or how the output will actually be used.

   Plausible for stakeholder buy-in, but it omits the purpose, users, and decision that the context step must capture.
3. A clear statement of the problem, the intended users, the decision the model informs, and the operating constraints and success metrics. ✓

   Correct: defining the use case captures purpose, affected users, the decision supported, and the constraints and metrics that judge success.
4. A data pipeline diagram showing storage and compute, deferring the purpose and stakeholders to a later phase of the project.

   Plausible as early engineering work, but it documents infrastructure rather than the business context and use case.

How to remember it

Defining business context and use case means stating the problem, users, the decision supported, and the constraints and success metrics.
