But predictions matter in operations
 How likely is this customer to churn?
 How likely is this offer to convert this visitor?
 How likely is it that this claim is fraudulent?
 What is the risk that this loan will not be paid?
 Which offer is likely to retain this customer?
 How likely is this person to respond to this?
 Is this person who they say they are?
