+## 🤖 Tools & Methodology
+
+### Use of AI Assistance
+
+This project was completed with the assistance of **Claude (Anthropic)** as a coding and learning partner. 
 
+**Why I used Claude:**
+- To understand best practices for structuring a machine learning pipeline
+- To learn proper implementation of sklearn models and evaluation metrics
+- To get explanations of concepts like feature engineering, clustering, and model evaluation
+- To debug code and understand error messages
+- To ensure consistent documentation and code commenting
+
+**What I learned through this process:**
+- The importance of establishing baselines before optimization
+- How feature engineering can dramatically improve model performance
+- The difference between regression and classification evaluation metrics
+- How to interpret clustering results and use them as features
+- Best practices for presenting data science work
+
+All code was executed, tested, and validated by me in Google Colab. The final analysis, interpretations, and conclusions are my own understanding of the results.
