Frequently Asked Questions

How should I interpret the analysis results?

Analysis results are tools for understanding, not absolute verdicts. Look at overall patterns rather than fixating on any single metric. Consider the context of your specific situation. Use results to guide improvements, not as pass/fail judgments. Combine analytical insights with domain expertise and common sense for best decisions.

Why do results vary when I analyze the same thing twice?

Some variation is normal, especially for complex analysis. Different samples of data may produce slightly different results. The tool may also consider random elements or context-dependent factors. Focus on significant trends rather than minor fluctuations. If results vary wildly, there may be an issue with input consistency or tool configuration.

Can this analysis replace human expertise?

No - automated analysis is a tool to augment human judgment, not replace it. Analysis provides objective metrics and identifies patterns, but humans provide context, creativity, and nuanced understanding. Use analysis to inform decisions, identify areas for attention, and measure progress, but apply critical thinking and expertise to interpretation and action.

How often should I run analysis?

Frequency depends on your goals and how quickly things change. For ongoing improvement, analyze regularly (weekly or monthly) to track trends. Before major decisions, run fresh analysis. After implementing changes, analyze to measure impact. Avoid over-analyzing to the point of paralysis - find a rhythm that informs action without consuming excessive time.

What if the analysis contradicts my intuition?

Both analysis and intuition are valuable! When they conflict, investigate further. Your intuition might catch context the tool misses, or the analysis might reveal blind spots in your thinking. Consider whether you might be missing something, but also verify the tool is measuring what you think it measures. Sometimes the most valuable insights come from resolving such contradictions.
