XP Lab
Practice the actual work.
Good analysis takes more than a correct query. You have to decide what to ask, what to trust, and how to move forward when there isn’t one obvious answer. That is what XP Lab helps people practice.
Real analytical situations
Missing context, uneven data, and open-ended questions. The conditions analysts actually work in.
Learn by doing
Run the analysis, meet the dead ends, and decide what comes next. Learn from the choices you make.
Personalized feedback
Feedback on the analytical calls you made, including the ones you didn’t realize were calls.
Illustrative exercise
Conversion fell. What do you check?
Imagine a team considering pausing a campaign after mobile conversion falls. Before recommending a budget change, check whether events were captured, the periods are comparable, and the denominator fits the question. This is an example of the kind of thinking we want people to practice.
This example illustrates the approach; it is not a customer result or a quoted platform review.
What can the process reveal?
- Does the recommendation address the business decision?
- Which checks give you a reason to trust the data?
- Does the explanation separate a finding, an assumption, and uncertainty?

The thinking behind the product
From the essays to the practice.
Analysis Paralysis is where I write about analytical judgment. XP Lab is where I try to give it room to develop: for individual analysts, in classrooms, and within teams.
