Abstract
CBoard is an open-source Data Science project. An easy to use, self-service open BI reporting and BI dashboard platform. CBoard is not only a analysis platform that supports interactive multi-dimensional report design and data analysis for user, but also a BI product development platform for developer. Powered by Shanhai Chuguo Information and Technology Co., Ltd. It is built using JavaScript. Key capabilities include: Simple and beautiful interface and layout; Interactive, drag-and-drop OLAP classisc report development experience; One dataset, multiple report widgets. Maximize reuse query result. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the Apache License 2.0, making it a useful reference for students building a Data Science mini project or final-year project.
1. Introduction

8. Viva / Review Questions
Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.
- What is the source of the dataset and how was missing data handled?
- Which exploratory analysis steps revealed the most useful insight?
- Why were these particular charts chosen to present the data?
- Which statistical or ML technique supports the conclusions?
- How could the analysis be automated or refreshed with new data?
