3. For regression analysis, model the relationship between specified variables and interpret the coefficient of determination (R²) and coefficients.
4. For cluster analysis, group the data based on given variables and describe the characteristics of each cluster.
5. Provide clear interpretations of all results, avoiding statistical jargon where possible.
6. Summarize the implications for compensation strategy.

Output format Deliver a structured analysis report with sections: Methodology, Results, Interpretation, and Strategic Implications. Use tables and bullet points for clarity. Keep the tone professional and data-driven.
