Learn → Try → ExplainReviewed 2026-10-15
01

Method

Ask what decision is pending, who will act, which population counts and what evidence could change the decision.

02

Worked example

“Before comparing campaigns, do conversions use the same attribution window? Is spend complete? Are audiences overlapping? Is the decision about attributed cost efficiency or incremental profit?”

03

Your exercise

Write five questions for the inventory manager. Separate necessary metric definitions from questions that would merely be interesting.

04

Review criteria

Check audience, units, period, inclusion rule, evidence and next action. Avoid claiming causation, certainty or measured impact that your source does not establish.

Make the reasoning yours.
