The model has been created from data patterns by the company SafeGraph. For this we have chosen four representative American businesses Subway, Walmart, Starbucks y Old Navy. Due to the fact that we only had data from 2020 and 2021, we wanted to choose a place where the COVID period was not extremely significant so that we could use both years for model training. Our selection was Houston, Texas, as restrictions there were not as strict and prolonged as in other states and data patterns were hardly affected by COVID-19.

The data displayed on the dashboard is part of the validation data, so the predicted visits are relative to the validation data (not seen by the model). We have limited the data to a single month since it is a mockup of a possible start-up.
