# **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/) ![[Pasted image 20250830172132.png]] ## 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"
