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

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

4. Provides multiple top line success metrics

Classic example is the

Pirate Funnel: AAARRR⁠

⁠

5. Tie metrics to goals...

Avoid

Goodhart's law⁠

: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"
