Brain Vomit is Chinmay Arora's technical blog for data science experiments, AI engineering case studies, governance systems, evidence audits, and active project research.
Studies and Ideas
Research Studies, Evidence Audits, and Project Explorations.
A standalone writing space for evidence audits, experiments, research exploration, opinion, and curiosity, without presenting every analytical idea as a completed study. Also random thoughts and procrastinations.

Department 01 / Evidence
These posts contain an identifiable evidence trail: a dataset or public-source corpus, a method or analytical procedure, reported findings, and explicit limitations.

Department 02 / Explorations
These posts document work I am actively developing: product directions, analytical frameworks, metrics, systems, and future research paths. They may use sources or illustrative artifacts, while stating clearly when empirical validation is still in progress.
