Can we collect all the data that we need for the purpose of the algorithm?

Could you face difficulties obtaining certain type of data? This could be due to different reasons such as legal, proprietary, financial, physical, technical, etc. This could put the whole project in danger.

If you answered No then you are at risk

If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too

Recommendations

In the early phases of the project (as soon as the task becomes more clear), start considering which raw data and types of datasets you might need. You might not have the definitive answer until you have tested the model, but it will already help to avoid extra delays and surprises. You might have to involve your legal and financial department. Remember that this is a team effort.
