Regression analysis to understand how variables affect the business and predict future outcomes!
In workforce planning, I’ve used it to predict how many positions will attrition and start recruiting ahead of time to reduce the time to hire and estimate savings due to open positions.
In pure financial market finance, to run GARCh and e-GARCh models to understand the asymmetric behavior of the markets (modeling volatility) and know how much more reactive a stock is to a negative news vs a positive news of same magnitude.

APIs, some automation to download/transform reports (selenium) plug in to alteryx to do anything not prebuilt for the tool, and some light algorithm work (e.g. clustering)

Everyone hit the nail on the head, and i just want to mention it can do some good ol' data visualizations!

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA
