05 / FIELD NOTES

Read between the numbers.

Short, practical notes for asking better questions about growth, customers and acquisition.

+

01 / CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR

Give every cohort the same chance.

A recent customer has had less time to place a second order. Compare cohorts with the same completed observation window before interpreting a falling repeat rate.

Compare equal windows.

02 / SALES

Revenue is the opening question.

A sales increase can come from more orders, a change in order value or a different product mix. Examine those components before calling the change a trend.

Look beyond the total.

03 / PAID MEDIA

Spending is not attribution.

Ad spend describes an input. It does not establish which orders a campaign caused. Keep unassigned orders visible and inspect measurement coverage.

Keep unknowns visible.

04 / AI ANALYSIS

A useful answer shows its work.

Look for a source, an observation window and supporting figures. A strong interpretation distinguishes what happened from what might explain it.

Evidence before confidence.
