Good product decisions aren’t guesses — they’re grounded in data. Using stats (like confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, and distributions) helps teams separate signal from noise and innovate with confidence instead of hope. 📊

Every strong innovation process needs:
✔ clear hypotheses
✔ measurable experiments
✔ fast feedback loops
✔ early decisions based on evidence

Without these, you’re building comfort, not learning.

Great innovation isn’t just ideas — it’s measurable. To track success, use metrics like experiment velocity, insight velocity, cost-per-insight, or “time to insight.” These give early signals — long before ROI shows up. 📊

Measure what drives learning and action, not just outcomes.
