Principle 07

Translate evidence into decision language.

A technical metric becomes useful to a leader when its meaning is connected to customers, risk, money, time, or the stated goal.

Explanation

Translation is not distortion. Preserve the technical meaning while showing why the evidence matters to the person responsible for action.

Example

Instead of reporting only a latency change, explain which user journey changed, how confidence was measured, and which decision the result should inform.

Practical implication

End every analysis with the decision it supports, the options available, and the uncertainty that remains.
