On the left, an &quot;Elbow Method&quot; graph shows WCSS decreasing as K increases, with a red dot highlighting the elbow point at K=3. Below it, data points are scattered, representing unclustered data. On the right, &quot;Silhouette Score&quot; bar charts compare scores for K=2, K=3, and K=4. The K=3 chart shows higher, more balanced bars and an average score of +0.75, indicating optimal clustering. Below these charts, the same data points are shown clearly divided into three distinct, colorful clusters (purple, green, blue). The overall design uses glowing lines and a subtle circuit board background, conveying a tech-savvy and analytical feel.</image:title>
