Overview
This project is a full-stack AI-driven Business Analytics platform that helps organizations monitor, forecast, and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) interactively. It combines data simulation, KPI calculation, machine learning forecasting, and interactive visualization to support decision-making for business leaders.

The platform allows users to:
Automatically calculate business KPIs like Revenue, Expenses, Profit, ROI, Churn Rate, and Customer Growth
Forecast future KPIs using ARIMA and XGBoost models

Interactively visualize trends and forecasts via a Streamlit dashboard
Download forecasted data for further analysis
** Features Core Features
Generates realistic monthly business data
Calculates derived KPIs like Profit, ROI, Expenses, Churn, Customer Growth
ARIMA for time-series forecasting
XGBoost for regression-based predictions
Performance metrics (MAE, RMSE) for model comparison
Select KPIs dynamically (Revenue, Profit, ROI)
Visualize actual vs forecast trends
Highlight anomalies in red
Display automatic insights for the latest month
Download data as CSV
Advanced Features
Flags unusual KPI deviations automatically
Generates human-readable summaries of KPI changes
Compare ARIMA and XGBoost predictions side by side
