163 - It's Not a Math Problem: How to Quantify the Value of Your Enterprise Data Products or Your Data Product Management Function

Experiencing Data with Brian O'Neill

I keep hearing data product, data strategy, and UX teams often struggle to quantify the value of their work. Whether it's as a team as a whole or on a specific data product initiative, the underlying problem is the same – your contribution is indirect, so it's harder to measure. Even worse, your stakeholders want to know if your work is creating an impact and value, but because you can't easily put numbers on it, valuation spirals into a messy problem.   The messy part of this valuation problem is what today's episode is all about—not math! Value is largely subjective, not objective, and I think this is partly why analytical teams may struggle with this. To improve at how you estimate the value of your data products, you need to leverage other skills—and stop approaching this as a math problem.   As a consulting product designer, estimating value when it's indirect is something that I've dealt with my entire career. It's not a skill learned overnight, and it's one you will need to keep developing over time—but the basic concepts are simple. I hope you'll find some value in applying these along with your other frameworks and tools.    Highlights/ Skip to   Value is subjective, not objective (5:01) Measurability does not necessarily mean valuable (6:36) Businesses are made up of humans. Most b2b stakeholders aren't spending their own money when making business decisions—what does that mean for your work? (9:30) Quantifying a data product's value starts with understanding what is worth measuring in the eye of the beholder(s)—not math calculations (13:44) The more difficult it is to show the value of your product (or team) in numbers, the lower that value is to the stakeholder—initially (16:46) By simply helping a stakeholder to think through how value should be calculated on a data product, you're likely already providing additional value (18:02) Focus on expressing estimated value via a range versus a single number (19:36) Measurement of anything requires that we can observe the phenomenon first—but many stakeholders won't be able to cite these phenomena without [your!] help (22:16) When you are measuring quantitative aspects of value, remember that measurement is not the same as accuracy (precision)—and the precision game can become a trap (25:37) How to measure anything—and why estimates often trump accuracy (31:19) Why you may need to steer the conversation away from ROI calculations in the short term (35:00)   Quotes from Today's Episode Even when you can easily assign a dollar value to the data product you're building, that does not necessarily reflect what your stakeholder actually feels about it—or your team's contribution. So, why do they keep asking you to quantify the value of your work? By actually understanding what a shareholder needs to observe for them to know progress has been made on their initiative or data product, you will be positioned to deliver results they actually care about. While most of the time, you should be able to show some obvious economic value in the work you're doing, you may be getting hounded about this because you're not meeting the often unstated qualitative goals. If you can surface the qualitative goals of your stakeholder, then the perception of the value of your team and its work goes up, and you'll spend less time trying to measure an indirect contribution in quant terms that only has a subjectively right answer. (6:50) The more difficult it is for you to show the monetary value of your data product (or team), the lower that value likely is to the stakeholder. This does not mean the value of your work is “low.” It means it's perceived as low because it cannot be easily quantified in a way that is observable to the person whose judgment matters. By understanding the personal motivations and interests of your stakeholders, you can begin to collaboratively figure out what the correct success metrics should be—and how they'd be measured. By just simply beginning to ask and uncover what they're trying to measure, you can start to increase your contributions' perceived value. (17:01) Think about expressing “indirect value” as a range, not a precise single value. It's much easier to refine your estimate (if necessary) once a range has been defined, and you only need to get precise enough for your stakeholder to make a decision with the information. How much time should you spend refining your measurement of the value? Potentially little to none—if the “better math” isn't going to change anyone's mind or decision.  Spending more time to measure a data product's value more accurately takes you away from doing actual product work—and if there isn't much obvious value to the work, maybe the work—not the measurement of the work—needs to change. (19:49) Smart leaders know that deriving a simple calculation of indirect contributions is complex—otherwise, the topic wouldn't keep coming up. There is a “why” behind why they're asking, and when you understand the “why,” you'll be better positioned to deliver the value they actually seek, using valuation measurements that are “just enough” in their precision. What do you think it says to a stakeholder if you're spending an inordinate amount of time simply trying to calculate and explain the value of your data product? (23:22) Many organizations for years have invested in things that don't always have a short term ROI.  They know that ROI takes time, and they can't really measure what it's worth along the way. Examples include investments in company culture, innovation, brand reputation, and many others. If you're constantly playing defense and having to justify your existence or methods by quantifying the financial value of your data products (or data product management team, or UX team, or any other indirect contributor/contribution), then either your work truly does lack value, or you haven't surfaced what the actual success metrics and outcomes are— in the eyes of the stakeholder. As such, the perceived value is “low” or opaque. They might be looking for a hard number to assign to it because they're not seeing any of the other forms of value that they care about that would indicate positive progress. It's easier to write [you] a large check  for a big, innovative, unproven initiative if your stakeholders know what you and your team can accomplish with a small check.

Welcome to another episode of The New Quantum Era Podcast hosted by Kevin Rowney and Sebastian Hassinger. Today, they are joined by an outstanding European researcher: Professor Leo Kouwenhoven.Leo is a professor in Applied Physics specialized in the field of Quantum NanoScience at TU Delft. Leo got his Ph.D. in Mesoscopic Physics at Delft. He was a postdoc researcher at the University of California at Berkeley and a visiting professor at Harvard. Highlights in Leo's career include the discovery of conductance quantization in quantum point contacts, Coulomb blockade in quantum dots, artificial atoms, the Kondo effect in quantum dots, Spin qubits, induced superconductivity in nanowires and nanotubes, spin-orbit qubits in nanowires and nanotubes and Majoranas in nanowires. Leo and his group found evidence of Majoranas detailed in a paper from 2012. He lead the Microsoft hardware R&D effort, working on topological qubits using Majorana zero modes from 2016 to 2022. His current focus at Delft is on topological effects in solid-state devices, such as the emergence of Majoranas and topological qubits.Key Takeaways:[2:53] Kevin and Sebastian share their appreciation about how quantum computing was represented in the episode Joan is Awful of the TV show Black Mirror. [6:04] Leo shares how he got interested in the field of quantum computing.[9:40] Leo discusses how much he knew about the work done in theoretical quantum computing in the mid to late 90s.[14:37] The advantage of superconducting qubits is that you have a large number of electrons in the circuit you are manipulating.[15:34] Measurability can be easier but “it always comes with a price”.[17:05] Leo admits the coherence was insufficient, and he shares how they tried to improve it.[19:15] What is the feature of silicon that makes it valuable for Quantum Computing?[22:12] Leo shares the benefits of a hybrid system (combining super connectivity and semi-connectors).[23:10] Leo discusses how he became interested in Majoranas.[27:30] Leo addresses the main research agenda destination regarding Majoranas.[28:22] Was the Majoranas fundamental particle found?[33:21] The potential for theory and application is so huge. What's Leo's sense about the prospects for these avenues of inquiry research?[36:25] Leo explains the non-abelian property that Majoranas zero modes have.[40:18] Leo addresses the two groups of gate operations needed for universal computing.[41:22] Leo gives his opinion regarding the timeframe for the appearance of commercially viable outcomes in this domain. [47:16] Sebastian reflects on the maturation of the neutral atom systems, considering them as the first realization of Feynman's vision from 1981 regarding the fact that in order to simulate a natural system, there is a need for a quantum computer to do it.[48:08] Can we build machines that can help us simulate the dynamics of quantum systems that might help us understand more what the challenges are in Majorana Qubit? [51:01] Does Leo think there's any value in Majorana braiding simulations to try to understand the dynamics of the system or overcome the challenges?[53:50] There is room for optimism in Quantum Computing.[56:24] Leo talks about the dream of topological Majoranas qubit.  [58:16] Kevin and Sebastian share the highlights of an insightful conversation with Leo Kouwenhoven. Mentioned in this episode:Visit The New Quantum Era PodcastBlack Mirror: Joan is AwfulLearn more about Leo KouwenhovenSignatures of Majorana fermions in hybrid superconductor-semiconductor nanowire devicesTweetables and Quotes:“The advantage of the superconducting qubits is that you have a large number of electrons in the circuit you are manipulating, which can make measurability easier, but it always comes with a price.”— Leo Kouwenhoven“I read that making qubits was too much engineering when it should be something more fundamental… so now we think qubits are fundamental?!” — Leo Kouwenhoven“Problems are there to be solved; they only exist to be solved.

EA - On Child Wasting, Mega-Charities, and Measurability Bias by Jesper

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: On Child Wasting, Mega-Charities, and Measurability Bias, published by Jesper on May 7, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Recently I ran into a volunteer for UNICEF who was gathering donations for helping malnourished children. He gave me some explanation on why child wasting is a serious problem and how there are cheap ways to help children who are suffering from it (the UNICEF website has some information on child wasting and specifically on the treatment of wasting using simplified approaches, in case you are interested). Since I happen to have taken the Giving What We Can pledge and have read quite a bit on comparing charities, I asked what evidence there is that compares this action to - say - protecting people from malaria with bednets or directly giving cash to very poor people. The response I got was quite specific: the volunteer claimed that UNICEF can save a life with just 1€ a day for an average period of 7 months. If these claims are true then that means they can save a life for 210€, a lot less than the >3000$ that Givewell estimates is needed for AMF to save one life. Probably these numbers should not be compared directly, but I am still curious to know why there can be over an order of magnitude difference between the two. So to practice my critical thinking on these kinds of questions, I made a list of possible explanations for the difference: The UNICEF campaign has little room for additional funding. The program would be funded anyway from other sources (e.g. governments). The 1€/day figure might not include all the costs. Some of the children who receive the food supplements might die of malnutrition anyway. Only some of the children who receive the food supplements would have died without them. Children who are saved from malnutrition could still die of other causes. Obviously I do not have the time nor resources of GiveWell so it is hard to determine how much all of these explanations count in the overall picture, or if there are others that I missed. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be much information on this question from GiveWell (or other EA organizations) either. Looking on the GiveWell website, the most I could find is this blog post on mega-charities from 2011, which makes the argument that mega-charities like UNICEF have too many different campaigns running simultaneously, and that they do not have the required transparency for a proper evaluation. The first argument sounds fake to me: if there are different campaigns, then can you not just evaluate these individual campaigns, or at least the most promising ones? The second point about transparency is a real problem, but there is also the risk of measurability bias if we never even consider less transparent charities. I would very much like to have a more convincing argument for why these kind of charities are not rated. If for nothing else then at least it would be useful for discussing with people who currently donate to them, or who try to convince me to donate to them. Perhaps the reason is just a lack of resources at GiveWell, or perhaps there is research on this but I just couldn't find it. But either way I believe the current state of affairs does not provide a convincing case of why the biggest EA evaluator barely even mentions one of the largest and most respected charity organizations. [Comment: I'm not new here but I'm mostly a lurker on this forum. I'm open to criticism on my writing style and epistemics as long as you're kind!] Thanks for listening.

We thought it was important to speak to someone in the rapidly-growing plant-based food startup world, since it’s such a hot sector today, to see what’s driving success in this world. Jeremy interviewed Mike at The Print Event in Minneapolis recently, so naturally we had a conversation about Oatly’s incredibly sharp advertising efforts, and how brands now and in the future need to think about using print and advertising in general to stand out from other brands. We also talk about measurability of advertising, since we are moving into a world where measurability is king, and what emerging mediums brands need to think about in order to be successful today.

My word of the year for 2019 is "kaizen", the Sino-Japanese word that means "improvement".  The process of continuous improvement has made incredible changes in my life, allowing me to start focussing on "how can I make this action / behaviour / decision better next time?". I share my experience with the concept, and also give you some ideas of how to apply it in your own life     0-7: Defining 'kaizen'. How it originated at Toyota, and the process that they undertook at the car factories. 7-16: How we can apply the standardisation concept of kaizen in real life. 16-23: Kaizen doesn't entail any notion of completion.  23-31: My suitcase packing analogy, and how it's okay to try different methods to try and find improvements in our lives. Dr Adi Jaffe's 1% Principle - taking baby steps to progress in recovery / abstinence programmes. 31-36: The ease of measurability in kaizen, and ways in which you can apply the ability to measure time / distance etc to make kaizen more applicable in everyday life. 36-40: Looking at innovation, and how one of my dogs has totally benefitted from kaizen in doggy dental care! 40-44: Quote of the episode. 44-55: My personal experiences with using kaizen, how I've learnt to prioritise, and bought into the 80/20 Pareto Effect alongside kaizen.

Luigi Scorzato (Roskilde) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (16 January, 2013) titled "Simplicity and Measurability in Science". Abstract: Simple assumptions represent a decisive reason to prefer one theory to another in everyday scientific praxis. But this praxis has little philosophical justification, since there exist many notions of simplicity, and those that can be defined precisely strongly depend on the language in which the theory is formulated. Moreover, according to a common general argument, the simplicity of a theory is always trivial in a suitably chosen language. However, this "trivialization argument" is always either applied to toy-models of scientific theories or applied with little regard for the empirical content of the theory. In this paper I show that the trivialization argument fails, when one considers realistic theories and requires their empirical content to be preserved. In fact, the concepts that enable a very simple formulation, are not necessarily measurable, in general. Moreover, the inspection of a theory describing a chaotic billiard shows that precisely those concepts that naturally make the theory extremely simple are provably not measurable. This suggests that, whenever a theory possesses sufficiently complex consequences, the constraint of measurability prevents too simple formulations in any language. In this paper I propose a way to introduce the constraint of measurability in the formulation of a scientific theory in such a way that the notion of simplicity acquires a general and sufficiently precise meaning. I argue that this explains why the scientists often regard their assessments of simplicity as largely unambiguous.
