As a former market researcher turned digital analyst turned CRO, I think the ladder of evidence is probably my fav part of "Analytics The Right Way" co-authored by @tgwilson! Such a great way to get biz partners to think about uncertainty, risk and all types of evidence! 🪜📊
Tim Wilson@tgwilson

The data best suited to validate a hypothesis? It's useful to think of options as a ladder of evidence types: anecdotal, descriptive, & scientific. This is very different from the alliterative trope of: descriptive > diagnostic > descriptive > predictive. youtu.be/u_TPEpxou6E

Our Head of Solutions co-authored a book, which we think is great! We're so proud, and it's some great content. That doesn't mean we're not going to push him outside of his comfort zone with some of the promotion of it.

Annual plannin’ feels like panning fer gold in a dry creek—long, tedious, and mighty frustratin’. But if ya sift through the muck, there’s gold in there: goals, metrics, and maybe a bit o’ sanity. Read this post and you'll see, or my name ain't Gus Chiggins!
