# **Summary**
1. Can identify, analyze & solve problems in organized way
2. Offers more than one way to tackle problem, effectively evaluate solutions & decide which to pursue
3. Leverages analytical methods to build consensus in ambiguous areas w/ diverse constituents
4. Provides multiple topline success metrics & decomposes general ones into specifics
5. Ties metrics to goals and outcomes of the overall product.
# Attributes
## 1. Can identify, analyze, solve problems in an organized way
An analytical framework is a structured approach that helps organize and interpret information, identify key factors, and generate and compare solutions.
List of frameworks
- CIRCLES (Comprehend, Identify, Report, Customers, List solutions, Evaluate trade-offs, Summarize)
- STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Results)
- BUS (Business objectives, User problems, Solutions)
## 2. Offers more than one way to tackle problem, effectively evaluate solutions & decide which to pursue
Need to balance [Hick's law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hick%27s_law) which states that increasing the number of choices will increase the decision time logarithmically.
## 3. Leverages analytical methods to build consensus in ambiguous areas w/ diverse constituents
Avoids the [Frequency illusion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion).
## 4. Provides multiple top line success metrics
Classic example is the [Pirate Funnel: AAARRR](https://growwithward.com/aaarrr-pirate-funnel/)

## 5. Tie metrics to goals...
Avoid [Goodhart's law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law): “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"
