      If you run out of things to measure, sure. But prioritize measuring things that are likely sources of low-hanging-fruit over grinding.

      There's diminishing returns in measurement accuracy as well.

      Yes, but we're usually missing simple things. We know perf, but not even the most basic things about onboarding success.

      I'm certain we actually believe the same things here. I just think your advice was misleading

      I think in most cases it will do more good than harm. "Go where the data leads" is the source of significant wasted time.

      No. The data can be good and still be a deeply bad priority. That's my point.

      In practice, almost all data used as an input to "follow the data" is bad data by this definition.

      The data cannot fail you. Only you fail the data.

      Honestly, I've seen more mistakes from people following the data than people who interview bunches of users and go by intuition.

          But not measured. At this point you're just defining "data" broadly enough so that our agreement is tautological.

          I mean, I'd usually follow qualitative data up with quantitative data.

          You're just not really engaging with my point that people focused on data have persistent blindspots in what they measure.

          "they're doing it wrong" is fine, but it's pervasive and far worse among the data religious.

          I heard you say that you should measure things that give you easy wins. I don't think you believe that.

          I think that a lot of easy wins live in unmeasured areas. And you should actually do the things that get you wins cheaply.

          So do I 👍 I think this was your point and I'm glad it's stated clearly now 😘
