Sammanfattning	Explainable K-Means is a post-hoc and in-model interpretability approach to standard K-Means clustering that replaces or approximates cluster assignments with a small axis-aligned decision tree. Each leaf of the tree corresponds to one cluster, and every data point is assigned to a cluster by following a simple sequence of threshold rules on individual features — making cluster membership fully transparent and human-readable.	Hierarchical clustering is an unsupervised method that groups observations into nested clusters and draws the result as a dendrogram, so the number of clusters need not be fixed in advance. Its agglomerative form rests on the objective-function grouping criterion introduced by Joe Ward in 1963.
