The full system reached 0.771 accuracy, versus 0.650 for one-shot prediction without explanation and 0.711 for an iterative variant given matched-length but uninformative placebo explanations. The result does not show that generating more natural-language text inherently improves a model; it shows that, within this design, removing authentic explanatory content or replacing it with placebo text materially reduces performance. ...

Feed everything into XGBoost. Pretend the process was scientific because the final notebook has a clean cross-validation table. In many business analytics teams, this is not a caricature. It is Tuesday. ...
