Analysis
March 2026 – Blake Cutler
- The purpose of analysis is insight
- An insight is a shift in orientation that helps you see reality more clearly and act in time
- The best analysis is the simplest analysis which gives the needed insight
- Most mistakes in analysis come from reacting to noise or ignoring signal
- If a graph is worth 1,000 words, then an annotated graph is worth 10,000
- Always present data in context; use graphs not point comparisons
