12.2.4 Approach
In the Approach portion of the presentation, the team needs to explain the
methodology pursued on the project. This can include interviews with domain
experts, the groups collaborating within the organization, and a few statements
about the solution developed. The objective of this slide is to ensure the audience
understands the course of action that was pursued well enough to explain it to
others within the organization. The team should also include any additional
comments related to working assumptions the team followed as it performed the
work, because this can be critical in defending why they followed a specific course
of action.
When explaining the solution, the discussion should remain at a high level for the
project sponsors. If presenting to analysts or data scientists, provide additional
detail about the type of model used, including the technology and the actual
performance of the model during the tests. Finally, as part of the description of
the approach, the team may want to mention constraints from systems, tools, or
existing processes and any implications for how these things may need to change
with this project.

a data science project to a sponsor audience.

Note that the third bullet describes the churn model in general terms.
Furthermore, the subbullets provide additional details in nontechnical terms.
