2 - Add Data to Contour Analysis

Our objective in the exercises in this course is to determine if there are any discernible patterns as to what causes flight delays. We will build out delay cohorts using expressions, calculate thresholds limits and develop a shareable dashboard. Open your Foundry Enrollment in a new tab or window

📖 Task Introduction

Imagine you're an airline analyst tasked with analyzing flight delay impact on customer experience and airline resource allocation. In this tutorial, you'll use Contour to investigate an open source flights dataset and derive helpful insights.
