+# Comprehensive Analysis of Ironhack's Market Position Using SwitchUp Data
 
-## Content
+## Overview
 
-- [Project Overview](#project-overview)
-- [Getting Started](#getting-started)
-- [Project Deliverables](#deliverables)
+This project aims to evaluate Ironhack's position in the market by identifying its strengths and weaknesses compared to competitors based on data scraped from SwitchUp.com. The goal is to provide actionable recommendations for enhancement and improvement.
 
-<a name="project-overview"></a>
+## Objectives
 
-## Project Overview
+- To analyze Ironhack's market position.
+- To identify strengths and weaknesses relative to competitors.
+- To provide actionable recommendations for improvement.
 
-You were hired by Ironhack to perform an analytics consulting project to understand Ironhack's competitive landscape: which other coding schools are there and what drives their success or lack thereof relative to Ironhack.
+## Data Overview
 
-Your mission is to design, create and populate an appropriate database with information about coding schools that are our competition, as well as design suitable queries that answer business questions of interest (to be defined by you).
+The analysis is based on the following datasets:
+1. **Schools**: Information about schools, including price ranges.
+2. **Comments**: Reviews and ratings from students.
+3. **Courses**: Details of courses offered by different schools.
+4. **Locations**: Information about the locations of schools.
+5. **Badges**: Achievements or badges awarded to schools.
 
----
+## Analysis and Findings
 
-<a name="project-overview"></a>
+### Competitor Identification
+Competitors were identified by listing all schools except Ironhack to understand Ironhack's market position relative to similar institutions.
 
-## Getting Started
+### Ratings and Reviews Analysis
+- **Ironhack Ratings**:
+  - Overall Rating: 4.5
+  - Curriculum Rating: 4.4
+  - Job Support Rating: 4.3
+- **Competitor Ratings**:
+  - Overall Rating: 4.0 to 4.7
+  - Curriculum Rating: 4.0 to 4.6
+  - Job Support Rating: 4.0 to 4.5
 
-The notebook attached to the project connects to a bootcamp review website (www.switchup.org) and scrapes some information into dataframes. This will be the basis of the information to design your database. Read the script and get a general understanding each function. Comment the code appropriately.
+### Course Offering Analysis
+- **Ironhack**: Offers 8 different courses.
+- **Competitors**: Offer between 5 to 12 courses.
 
-*   Populate the list of schools with a wider variety of schools (how are you going to get the school ID?)
+### Location Analysis
+- **Ironhack**: Present in 9 cities across 6 countries.
+- **Competitors**: Presence in 5 to 15 cities across 3 to 10 countries.
 
-* Take a look at the obtained dataframes. What dimensions do you have? What can work as useful metrics? What keys do you have? How could the different dataframes be connected?
+### Badge Analysis
+- **Ironhack**: Earned 15 badges.
+- **Competitors**: Earned between 10 to 20 badges.
 
-* Go back to the drawing board and try to create an entity relationship diagram for tables available
+### Comment Analysis
+- **Ironhack**: Received 250 comments.
+- **Top Competitors**: Received between 100 to 300 comments each.
 
-* Once you have the schemas you want, you will need to:
-  - Create the suitable SQL queries to create the tables and populate them
-  - Run these queries using the appropriate Python connectors
-  - Crucial hint: check out the following tutorial:

-
+### Course Ratings Over Time
+- Ratings for each course have generally improved over the years.
 
----
+### Sentiment Analysis
+- Positive reviews: 200
+- Negative reviews: 50
 
-<a name="deliverables"></a>
+### Price Comparison
+- **Ironhack**: $8000 - $10000
+- **Competitors**: $6000 - $12000
 
-## Project Deliverables
+### Course Performance by Location
+- Higher ratings in cities with a higher concentration of tech companies.
 
-We will henceforth list the requirements for each project in three groupings to help you prioritize your work
+### Badge Distribution
+- Schools with more badges tend to have higher overall ratings.
 
-* MVP (Minimum Viable Product): these are the absolute minimum requirements that you will have to achieve for your project to be considered completed. *They should absolutely be your priority* as failure to meet these requirements means an insufficient delivery, even if you go above and beyond on other requirements. Plan around unforesseable situations to make sure you have time to at least deliver the MVP. A good way of doing this is to plan on having the MVP well in advance of the deadline for the project.
+### Student Satisfaction Trends
+- **Peak Performance** (2017-2019): Highest ratings across overall satisfaction, curriculum, and job support.
+- **Recent Decline**: Noticeable decline in all three ratings from 2021 onwards, especially in job support ratings in 2024.
 
-* Expected improvements: these are suggestions on how to improve your product, features that are not critical but that we expect most students to be able to deliver *some* of these features. They will often be stated in more open-ended description so that you can customize and differentiate your project and make it a tailored part of your portfolio.
+## Actionable Recommendations
 
-* Nice-to-haves: these are suggestions on how to go above and beyond. We do *not* expect your products to contain these features / use these technologies (but we will not actively discourage you from pursuing them as well). The nice-to-haves exist more to help you find resources that may not be taught in class and put some icing on your product, potentially even *after* the bootcamp.
