Community detection battlecards
Recall the practical differences between common community detection methods and their validation needs.
Fast baseline What is Louvain best for? Fast modularity-based community exploration on large graphs. Use it as a strong exploratory baseline, then validate stability and connectedness before operational use. Launch choice Louvain or Leiden for operational segments? Use validation either way; choose Leiden when connectedness risk matters. Overclaim "The clusters are our new personas, right?" A PM wants to operationalize colored communities immediately. Your line They are persona hypotheses. We need stability, examples, and outcome validation before they become taxonomy. Saying yes turns an algorithmic partition into unsupported customer truth. It preserves momentum and sets an evidence threshold. Explainable split…
