The analytics work

Five problems, and what I did.

Experimentation 1 / 5

“Why aren’t people signing up?”

It wasn’t the form’s length. Adding “Cancel anytime” built the trust that was missing.

People just wanted to know they could leave.

↑ WINNER
Shorter form Cancel anytime

Sign-ups

“Could AI do the analysis, not just write it up?”

So I built one, on my own data.

I built two, both on my own social data. One writes the report. The other actually watches the videos, not just the numbers.

Ask my own data
Which reels actually brought new followers last month?

Three of eleven. All three opened on a face, not food.

New followers per reel, last 30 days

“Marketing says the campaign worked. Finance says it didn’t.”

Both right. They were counting different things.

So we wrote down what each number means, and what you’d do with it.

Marketing
1,240
people who enquired
Finance
380
people who paid

Same campaign, same week

Two names, one dictionary
LeadsAnyone who got in touch. Tells us if the ads worked.
OrdersSomeone who paid, within 30 days. Tells us if we made money.

Neither number changed. The argument stopped.

“Version B is up 12%. Is that real, or luck?”

I built the calculator that answers that.

Overlap means the difference is still inside the range of chance. Put your own numbers in.

Two proportion z test, two tailed, 95 per cent. The defaults are made up.

Visitors Conversions Rate Control   Variant  

 

 

“How many customers will we have in three years?”

Change an assumption, watch the answer move.

The maths is the easy bit. Knowing which dials a business actually has is the hard one.

I help people make decisions from their data.

Sometimes that’s a dashboard. Sometimes it’s a room full of analysts.

I’m building a recipe app with a co-founder. Saving a recipe takes a second. Cooking from one is still the hard part.

Analytics is the day job. It isn't the only one.

I’m in Sydney. Over twenty years in analytics, and a camera the whole time to keep the other half of my head working.

I read everything. I’ll come back to you in a couple of days.
