How data analysis improves decision-making

Agree what the numbers mean

A useful analysis begins with consistent definitions, a clear question, and an understanding of missing or incomplete data.

Compare alternatives

Segment trends by product, period, or location, and check whether the pattern survives changes in assumptions. Correlation alone does not explain cause.

Turn findings into a test

Choose an action, define success criteria, and evaluate what changed. Document the assumptions so the analysis can be reviewed later.
