Research direction

Use the issue's folder layout and README.md example as the acceptance criteria. First locate the repository's existing contribution or folder guidance; done means a reusable example template documents the required README.md, script or supporting files, screenshots, and optional sections.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Create Predominance Map with a lot of columns

Original Author: Bonnie Stayer
Ever wanted to create a predominance map but had too many columns to consider? I came up with this simple script to do just that. I'm back in the NAICS industry world, so the field names and output text reflect that (you'd obviously have to swap in whatever your working with)

Considerations:

I'd be particularly interested to see if someone has more clever way of addressing the highlighted step (how you get the column name back once you've got the highest value). That's the most cumbersome part, and you're actually returning hardcoded text rather than the real column name.
