Definitely! What's "neat" about predictive modeling, is that it can start from and within any subject matter and speak in the unique language that individual needs to hear it in --- then as they come to understand it, they can truly see those same patterns in all things.

You have an outdoor job, i'm locked behind a computer screen or in boardrooms. You could see the patterns in the clouds and how it translates to weather --- vs. marketing trends translating to cost efficiency/buyer behavior.... always anomalies will always happen, to your point - but to the degree that even 'anomalies' can be trended.... sometimes people forget their are literally statistical measures to 'predict anomalies' anyway, it takes that to 'predict' anything more accurately!

And at some juncture, the patterns truly all relate. I wouldnt be surprised if there is some sort of correlation between weather patterns AND marketing trends and economies lol, it's all connected :)

good shit man
