    Facing facts doesn't have to be demoralizing.

        @paulg @rubenvrinzen Yes! Encountered many companies with values that are merely punchlines. No attempt to measure if they work.

        @paulg @DanielleMorrill I would replace facts with data. Facts are sometimes well... Not facts. Data is always data.
