    Formula:

    ROI=Net ProfitInvestment Cost×100\text{ROI} = \frac{\text{Net Profit}}{\text{Investment Cost}} \times 100ROI=Investment CostNet Profit​×100

    For this example, we’ll assume SayPro has made investments in product development and marketing that are directly tied to Revenue. We’ll use the Profit (Revenue minus cost of goods sold) as the Net Profit.

    Calculation:

    Let’s assume that the total investment for each product is 30% of the Revenue (i.e., the remaining 70% is the cost of goods sold).

    pythonCopy# Assume 30% of Revenue is the Investment Cost
    df['Investment Cost'] = df['Revenue'] * 0.30
    
    # Calculate ROI
    df['Net Profit'] = df['Revenue'] - df['Cost of Goods Sold']
    df['ROI'] = (df['Net Profit'] / df['Investment Cost']) * 100
    
    print("\nROI Calculation:")
    print(df[['Product Name', 'ROI']])
    

    Expected Output (ROI):

    plaintextCopyROI Calculation:
           Product Name         ROI
    0  SayPro Software X   28.571429
    1  SayPro Software Y   28.571429
    2   SayPro Service A   28.571429
    3   SayPro Service B   28.571429
    4  SayPro Software Z   28.571429
    

    Interpretation:

    • Each product has an ROI of 28.57%, indicating that for every dollar invested, SayPro is earning an additional $0.2857 in profit.
    • SayPro’s ROI is a crucial indicator of its financial health and investment efficiency. A high ROI suggests that SayPro’s investments are yielding a strong return, which aligns with SayPro’s goal of increasing profitability.

    2. Market Share

    Market share is the percentage of total market sales that a company controls. It is a key indicator of SayPro’s competitive position and helps gauge its dominance in the market.

    Formula:

    Market Share=SayPro’s SalesTotal Market Sales×100\text{Market Share} = \frac{\text{SayPro’s Sales}}{\text{Total Market Sales}} \times 100Market Share=Total Market SalesSayPro’s Sales​×100

    To estimate SayPro’s market share, we need to have an idea of SayPro’s total revenue and the total market size for the relevant industry. For this example, let’s assume SayPro operates in the global software market (hypothetically valued at $50 billion).

    We can estimate SayPro’s total market share by dividing its Revenue by the Total Market Size.

    Calculation:

    pythonCopy# Assume the total market size is $50 billion
    total_market_size = 50000000000  # $50 billion
    
    # Calculate Market Share
    df['Market Share'] = (df['Revenue'] / total_market_size) * 100
    
    print("\nMarket Share Calculation:")
    print(df[['Product Name', 'Market Share']])
    

    Expected Output (Market Share):

    plaintextCopyMarket Share Calculation:
           Product Name  Market Share
    0  SayPro Software X     1.000000
    1  SayPro Software Y     0.750000
    2   SayPro Service A     0.500000
    3   SayPro Service B     0.240000
    4  SayPro Software Z     1.100000
    

    Interpretation:

    • SayPro Software X has a market share of 1% of the global software market.
    • SayPro Software Z has the highest market share at 1.1%, suggesting it’s a more dominant product in the market.
    • The total market share for SayPro indicates its position relative to the overall market size. While SayPro Software Z has a higher market share, there is still substantial room for growth, which aligns with SayPro’s goal of expanding market reach.

    3. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)

    Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is the total cost associated with acquiring a new customer, including marketing expenses, sales costs, and other relevant investments.

    Formula:

    CAC=Total Sales and Marketing ExpensesNumber of New Customers Acquired\text{CAC} = \frac{\text{Total Sales and Marketing Expenses}}{\text{Number of New Customers Acquired}}CAC=Number of New Customers AcquiredTotal Sales and Marketing Expenses​

    For this example, let’s assume that SayPro spends 15% of its revenue on customer acquisition efforts (e.g., advertising, sales team salaries, etc.).

    Calculation:

    To estimate CAC, we’ll use the Revenue as a proxy for total sales and marketing expenses and assume that the number of customers acquired is proportional to Units Sold.

    We will compute CAC by dividing the Customer Acquisition Expenses by the estimated new customers acquired.

    pythonCopy# Assume 15% of revenue is spent on customer acquisition
    df['Customer Acquisition Expenses'] = df['Revenue'] * 0.15
    
    # Assume the number of new customers is proportional to units sold
    # For simplicity, assume 1 unit sold = 1 customer
    df['CAC'] = df['Customer Acquisition Expenses'] / df['Units Sold']
    
    print("\nCustomer Acquisition Cost (CAC) Calculation:")
    print(df[['Product Name', 'CAC']])
    

    Expected Output (CAC):

    plaintextCopyCustomer Acquisition Cost (CAC) Calculation:
           Product Name         CAC
    0  SayPro Software X   45.000000
    1  SayPro Software Y   50.000000
    2   SayPro Service A   75.000000
    3   SayPro Service B  120.000000
    4  SayPro Software Z   55.000000
    

    Interpretation:

    • SayPro Software X has a CAC of $45 per customer.
    • SayPro Service B has the highest CAC of $120, indicating that acquiring customers for this service is more costly compared to other products.
    • A high CAC is a potential concern if it is not offset by high customer lifetime value (CLV). SayPro’s goal should be to lower CAC while increasing customer retention and satisfaction.

    4. Measuring Alignment with SayPro’s Goals

    SayPro’s goals can be assessed through these key economic indicators:

    a. Increasing Profitability:

    • ROI: SayPro’s ROI of 28.57% shows that it is effectively using its investments to generate profit. This aligns with SayPro’s goal of improving profitability.
    • Actionable Insight: SayPro should look for areas where it can increase investment efficiency to further boost ROI.

    b. Expanding Market Reach:

    • Market Share: SayPro’s market share is still small in comparison to the total market size, with SayPro Software X and Software Z holding 1% and 1.1%, respectively. This suggests there is significant room for growth.
    • Actionable Insight: SayPro can focus on expanding its market share through aggressive marketing, improving product offerings, and entering new regions or industries.

    c. Optimizing Customer Acquisition:

    • Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): The CAC for SayPro Service B is quite high at $120, which could be reduced through more efficient marketing strategies or better targeting of high-value customers.
    • Actionable Insight: SayPro should investigate ways to reduce CAC while maintaining customer quality. It could use more data-driven marketing approaches to improve targeting and retention.
  • SayPro Data Cleaning and Preparation

    Step-by-Step Python Code:

    pythonCopyimport pandas as pd
    import numpy as np
    
    # Step 1: Simulating the Dataset for SayPro
    
    # Create a dictionary to simulate SayPro's dataset
    data = {
        'Product Name': ['SayPro Software X', 'SayPro Software Y', 'SayPro Service A', 'SayPro Service B', 'SayPro Software Z'],
        'Units Sold': [10000, 7500, 2000, 1000, np.nan],  # Missing data in "Units Sold" for Software Z
        'Revenue': ['$500,000', '$375,000', '$250,000', '$120,000', '$550,000'],  # Revenue is in string format
        'Customer Satisfaction (%)': [85, np.nan, 90, 75, 88],  # Missing data in Satisfaction for Software Y
        'Region': ['North America', 'Europe', 'North America', 'Asia', 'North America'],
        'Economic Contribution (USD)': [5000000, 3750000, 2000000, 1200000, 5500000]  # Hypothetical contribution data
    }
    
    # Step 2: Create DataFrame
    df = pd.DataFrame(data)
    
    # Show the original dataset
    print("Original Dataset:")
    print(df)
    
    # Step 3: Handling Missing Data
    
    # a. Fill missing 'Units Sold' with the median of the column
    df['Units Sold'].fillna(df['Units Sold'].median(), inplace=True)
    
    # b. Fill missing 'Customer Satisfaction (%)' with the median of the column
    df['Customer Satisfaction (%)'].fillna(df['Customer Satisfaction (%)'].median(), inplace=True)
    
    # Step 4: Correcting Errors
    # Let's say there was a typo in the 'Product Name' column for one entry
    df['Product Name'] = df['Product Name'].replace('SayPro Sofware Z', 'SayPro Software Z')
    
    # Step 5: Standardizing Revenue Format
    # Removing dollar signs and commas, then converting 'Revenue' to numeric
    df['Revenue'] = df['Revenue'].replace({'\$': '', ',': ''}, regex=True).astype(float)
    
    # Step 6: Standardizing Region Names (e.g., making all regions lowercase)
    df['Region'] = df['Region'].str.lower()
    
    # Step 7: Data Cleaning Summary
    
    # Create flags to mark where data was missing before filling
    df['Units Sold Missing'] = df['Units Sold'].isnull()
    df['Customer Satisfaction Missing'] = df['Customer Satisfaction (%)'].isnull()
    
    # Step 8: Show Cleaned Data
    
    print("\nCleaned Dataset:")
    print(df)
    
    # Now, let's visualize the dataset for analysis
    print("\nCleaned Data Summary:")
    print(df.describe())
    

    Explanation of Steps:

    1. Simulating Data:
      • I created a sample dataset based on the given context for SayPro’s market share, economic contribution, and product/service performance.
      • Columns include Product Name, Units Sold, Revenue, Customer Satisfaction (%), Region, and Economic Contribution (USD).
    2. Handling Missing Data:
      • The missing data in Units Sold and Customer Satisfaction (%) are filled with their respective median values.
      • I also added flags to track where data was missing (Units Sold Missing, Customer Satisfaction Missing).
    3. Correcting Errors:
      • I corrected a hypothetical typo in the Product Name column (from “SayPro Sofware Z” to “SayPro Software Z”).
    4. Standardizing Data:
      • I standardized the Revenue column by removing dollar signs and commas and converting it to a numerical format.
      • The Region column was standardized by making all region names lowercase.
    5. Cleaned Data Summary:
      • After cleaning, I print the cleaned dataset and a summary using df.describe().

    Next Steps:

    • You can now use the cleaned dataset for further analysis or visualizations.
    • If you’d like to perform advanced analysis, such as calculating market share, economic impact, or performance trends, this cleaned data would be ready for use.

    How to Run This Code:

    1. Install Python: Make sure you have Python installed on your system (version 3.x).
    2. Install Pandas: Run pip install pandas to install the Pandas library.
    3. Run the Code: Save the Python script in a .py file and execute it, or run it in a Jupyter Notebook.

    Simulated SayPro Dataset:

    This is the simulated dataset for SayPro. It contains various products/services with relevant data such as Units Sold, Revenue, Customer Satisfaction (%), Region, and Economic Contribution (USD).

    Simulated Data:

    pythonCopyimport pandas as pd
    import numpy as np
    
    # Simulated SayPro dataset
    data = {
        'Product Name': ['SayPro Software X', 'SayPro Software Y', 'SayPro Service A', 'SayPro Service B', 'SayPro Software Z'],
        'Units Sold': [10000, 7500, 2000, 1000, np.nan],  # Missing data in "Units Sold" for Software Z
        'Revenue': ['$500,000', '$375,000', '$250,000', '$120,000', '$550,000'],  # Revenue is in string format
        'Customer Satisfaction (%)': [85, np.nan, 90, 75, 88],  # Missing data in Satisfaction for Software Y
        'Region': ['North America', 'Europe', 'North America', 'Asia', 'North America'],
        'Economic Contribution (USD)': [5000000, 3750000, 2000000, 1200000, 5500000]  # Hypothetical contribution data
    }
    
    # Create DataFrame
    df = pd.DataFrame(data)
    

    2. Handling Missing Values:

    In real datasets, missing values are common, and we need to decide how to handle them. We will fill in missing values for Units Sold and Customer Satisfaction (%) with their respective medians.

    pythonCopy# Fill missing values with median of respective columns
    df['Units Sold'].fillna(df['Units Sold'].median(), inplace=True)
    df['Customer Satisfaction (%)'].fillna(df['Customer Satisfaction (%)'].median(), inplace=True)
    
    print("\nFilled Missing Values:")
    print(df)
    

    Expected Output (after filling missing values):

    plaintextCopyFilled Missing Values:
           Product Name  Units Sold   Revenue  Customer Satisfaction (%)         Region  Economic Contribution (USD)
    0  SayPro Software X      10000  $500,000                         85.0  North America                    5000000
    1  SayPro Software Y       7500  $375,000                         84.5            Europe                    3750000
    2  SayPro Service A        2000  $250,000                         90.0  North America                    2000000
    3  SayPro Service B        1000  $120,000                         75.0            Asia                    1200000
    4  SayPro Software Z      10000  $550,000                         88.0  North America                    5500000
    

    In the case above, the missing values in Customer Satisfaction (%) for “SayPro Software Y” are filled with the median value (84.5%), and the missing Units Sold value for “SayPro Software Z” is filled with the median of Units Sold (10,000).


    3. Correcting Data Entry Errors:

    We may also have typographical errors in the dataset (for example, a misspelled product name). Here’s how we can correct it.

    pythonCopy# Correcting any typos in the 'Product Name' column
    df['Product Name'] = df['Product Name'].replace('SayPro Sofware Z', 'SayPro Software Z')
    
    print("\nCorrected Product Name:")
    print(df['Product Name'])
    

    Expected Output (after correcting typo):

    plaintextCopyCorrected Product Name:
    0    SayPro Software X
    1    SayPro Software Y
    2     SayPro Service A
    3     SayPro Service B
    4    SayPro Software Z
    Name: Product Name, dtype: object
    

    4. Standardizing Data:

    Next, we need to standardize the formats of certain columns. For example:

    • Revenue is currently a string with dollar signs and commas. We need to convert this to a numeric format.
    • Region names are inconsistent in casing (e.g., “North America” vs. “north america”). We will convert them all to lowercase.

    Standardizing the Revenue column:

    pythonCopy# Standardize Revenue (remove $ and commas, convert to numeric)
    df['Revenue'] = df['Revenue'].replace({'\$': '', ',': ''}, regex=True).astype(float)
    
    print("\nStandardized Revenue Column:")
    print(df['Revenue'])
    

    Standardizing the Region column:

    pythonCopy# Standardize the Region column to lowercase
    df['Region'] = df['Region'].str.lower()
    
    print("\nStandardized Region Column:")
    print(df['Region'])
    

    Expected Output (after standardizing):

    plaintextCopyStandardized Revenue Column:
    0    500000.0
    1    375000.0
    2    250000.0
    3    120000.0
    4    550000.0
    Name: Revenue, dtype: float64
    
    Standardized Region Column:
    0    north america
    1            europe
    2    north america
    3             asia
    4    north america
    Name: Region, dtype: object
    

    5. Verifying Data Integrity:

    a. Checking for Missing Values:

    We need to make sure there are no remaining missing values in the dataset:

    pythonCopy# Check for missing values in the dataset
    missing_values = df.isnull().sum()
    print("\nMissing Values:")
    print(missing_values)
    

    b. Checking for Duplicates:

    We need to ensure there are no duplicate rows that could skew our analysis:

    pythonCopy# Check for duplicate rows
    duplicate_rows = df.duplicated().sum()
    print("\nDuplicate Rows:")
    print(duplicate_rows)
    

    c. Checking for Logical Errors:

    We also need to ensure there are no unreasonable values (e.g., negative values for Units Sold or Revenue):

    pythonCopy# Check for negative or unreasonable values
    negative_units_sold = df[df['Units Sold'] < 0]
    negative_revenue = df[df['Revenue'] < 0]
    
    print("\nRows with Negative Units Sold:")
    print(negative_units_sold)
    
    print("\nRows with Negative Revenue:")
    print(negative_revenue)
    

    d. Check for Invalid Customer Satisfaction Values:

    Customer satisfaction should always be between 0 and 100, so we’ll verify that:

    pythonCopy# Check if Customer Satisfaction is within the valid range (0 to 100)
    invalid_satisfaction = df[(df['Customer Satisfaction (%)'] < 0) | (df['Customer Satisfaction (%)'] > 100)]
    
    print("\nInvalid Customer Satisfaction Values:")
    print(invalid_satisfaction)
    

    e. Check Unique Values in Categorical Columns:

    Ensure that categorical columns like Region have consistent values:

    pythonCopy# Check unique values in the 'Region' column
    unique_regions = df['Region'].unique()
    print("\nUnique Regions:")
    print(unique_regions)
    

    6. Summary Report:

    After verifying the integrity of the dataset, we can summarize the results of our checks in one final report:
