Tips & Best Practices

1. Ensure train and future data have same input features - drop future-only columns to avoid leakage
2. Use the AI Wizard to inspect data and suggest settings based on your accuracy vs interpretability tradeoffs
3. Align knobs with business constraints: higher accuracy for finals, lower time for exploration, higher interpretability for regulated domains
4. For time series, enable time-series mode with correct time column, groups, forecast horizon, gap, and lags
5. Use sliding time windows for validation so only past data predicts future, never randomly shuffle time-series rows
6. Iterate with checkpoints to reuse feature engineering and tuning from previous experiments
7. Deploy the generated MOJO/Java/Python scoring pipeline not ad-hoc rewrites to ensure exact same logic in production
