- 04TriangulationThe consensus stack: experiments + model + platform data, and how to resolve their disagreements.
- 05Data requirementsThe unglamorous checklist: history, granularity, variation, revenue definition.
- 06MMM outputsWhat a finished model hands you, and which output belongs in the board deck.
- 07Bayesian vs frequentistWhy the modern stack went Bayesian, and what that changes when evaluating vendors.
