I'm on the record as thinking DS-as-Insights-Generator is a weak vision for data science, but another problem with this model is that it feels a bit like science fair. It can be fun and even educational, but who actually does anything with their poster board once they're done?https://twitter.com/imightbemary/status/1360378868511559680 …

Xfn folks usually have some intuition for why people use your product, so it's crucial to put quantitative bounds around those use cases and make it possible to segment for users who do those things specifically. That's an example of plugging into an existing system of knowledge

But having those cohorts is also a platform of sorts. It makes it easier to give definitive answers about those user segments. Establishing baselines about them builds a shared context among your stakeholders, and shared context helps everyone move in the same direction

This is really interesting, thanks! Makes me think of how those shared contexts can be either metrics/segments, or shared analytics formats (eg. “The Monday sales report”).
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
