Obtaining analytical insights from data with Watson Analytics is accomplished with the Predict feature. The steps for creating a prediction are simple. These steps are referred to as a Prediction Workflow. This workflow is outlined in the Watson documentation and is worth reviewing here (at a higher level, perhaps):

1. Add data.
2. Click on Prediction.
3. Select (up to five) target fields that you want to predict. A target is a variable from your dataset that you want to understand. The target field's outcomes are influenced by other fields in the data.

4. Click Create. Watson Analytics then automatically analyzes the data as it creates the prediction.
5. When the analysis is completed, view the results. On the Top Predictors page, you can select a predictor that is interesting and open its visualization.
6. On the Main Insight page (for the predictor that you chose in step 5), you can examine the top insights that were derived from the analysis.
7. Go to the Details page to drill into the details for the individual fields and interactions.
