Episode notes
Always Deliver What, So What, Now What
- Move beyond reporting "what" and add "so what" and "now what" to drive action.
- Tailor the analysis to stakeholder needs and recommend specific responses for marketing, sales, or leadership.

- Signals live inside noisy data and only matter when tied to key intelligence questions.
- Tracy Berry advises extracting signals that answer stakeholder-driven topics, not hoarding raw data.
