Ep 11 - The Data Driven Decision Episode

This week I discuss an approach to using data scraped from the web to make two real life decisions - buying the right house and what nursing home to care for your loved ones. As a bonus, I also walk through a prospecting example for entrepreneurs. The basic methodology is: Identify criteria Identify data sources Sample and clean the data as needed Establish a weighted scoring process for the decision Use the data to make the decision Hope these examples help with an approach to use systems-based thinking and mental models, along with a touch of code, for folks to use to make wise decisions.
