- kthejoker2 3y agoAs a data person, I read it as: you don't always have anecdotes. So your data needs to account for blind spots and have enough granularity to see the issues. And focus more on negative metrics / finding and addressing anomalies instead of vanity metrics and showing "up and to the right" charts to leadership.
