Ok, so that idea wasn't right. But I still want to understand this, so maybe I should look more closely at your example and ask for details about it. In your example, the question you want answered is "'With regard to company X, why are too many applicants being refused employment?". I infer that you have a database of job applications to many companies, and you see that for many companies there's an average rate of refusal vs acceptance; but in one particular company you see that the percentages are far from the average, and you want your analysis to discover why. You hope that by examining all the data about these companies and these job applications, you might be able to spot a relationship between vectors, or a combination of relationships, that will make the matter clear. Am I right about that? So you're hoping for a product that will search through the many, many thousands of data looking for a pattern, or rather a departure from the pattern, that may explain it?
