This is like an early‑warning system for schools that looks at student records and quietly tells staff, “These 50 students are at high risk of dropping out—pay attention to them now.”
Manually spotting at‑risk students is slow, biased, and often too late. A machine‑learning model can systematically predict which students are most likely to drop out, so the institution can intervene earlier and more efficiently.
Access to rich, longitudinal student data and tight integration into academic and advising workflows can create a defensible advantage over generic, off‑the‑shelf models.

Data quality and completeness of student records, plus model degradation over time as curricula and student populations change.
Early Majority
Focus on predicting student dropout in an educational setting using structured academic and demographic data; differentiation likely comes from choice of features (attendance, grades, engagement metrics) and model tuning for a specific institution or region.
