Measure everything. There are two benefits to this.
1. Discarding the bullshit. A consistent practice of weighting assumptions and conclusions on evidence/numbers helps identify biases and motives from other people.
2. Measures allow for value identification and performance. Most people just guess at this. Guessing is wrong more than 80% of the time and often wrong by multiple orders of magnitude.
Most people don’t think like this and find this line of thinking completely foreign, so I often just keep my conclusions to myself. To see a movie about this watch Money Ball.
