In the meantime, start with the Problem Framer. Most good analysis starts there.
When to use it
- You're drowning in data with no direction
- Time is short and you need a view quickly
- You want to focus analysis on what matters
How it will work
- State your best guess at the answer
- List what would have to be true
- Pick the analysis that would prove or kill it
- Update the guess as evidence arrives
