WEBVTT
1 00:00:00.130 ⇒ 00:00:12.100 Robert Tseng: be close enough, like, even the funnel that we were talking about validating, like, I don’t expect…
2 00:00:12.430 ⇒ 00:00:16.990 Robert Tseng: My discovery in… my spike, I guess, in…
3 00:00:17.010 ⇒ 00:00:34.610 Robert Tseng: Mongo to give me 100% accurate numbers compared to this, like, I think it’ll… if it’s close enough, like, within 20… 10 to 20%, I think that’s… that’s enough validation, and, like, I can… I can still, you know, work with the client on that.
4 00:00:34.610 ⇒ 00:00:40.589 Robert Tseng: So I think that’s… that’s just something… To keep in mind, like…
5 00:00:40.810 ⇒ 00:00:50.590 Robert Tseng: when it’s not operational analysis, it’s not financial analysis, when it’s talking about product and marketing analytics, they don’t need to be 100% right. You just need to be, like.
6 00:00:50.590 ⇒ 00:01:03.049 Robert Tseng: close enough that, like, you have a story that you can back up with data. So, anyway, like, I… maybe I’m just kind of saying more than I need to. I just, you know, was hoping to
7 00:01:03.180 ⇒ 00:01:11.300 Robert Tseng: trying to help you differentiate between, like, the dashboarding you work for you do for default, and, like, there’s very fixed requirements. It’s more like an engineering task.
8 00:01:11.300 ⇒ 00:01:11.800 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.
9 00:01:11.800 ⇒ 00:01:18.660 Robert Tseng: I think this is less about, kind of, setting up dashboards and more about, like, trying to, like, tell the story, right?
10 00:01:18.660 ⇒ 00:01:26.780 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, this is helpful. Yeah, the data should… so we have to assume the data is telling a story, right?
11 00:01:27.090 ⇒ 00:01:29.800 Mustafa Raja: And we need to… we need to find that.
12 00:01:29.940 ⇒ 00:01:31.099 Mustafa Raja: Or what it is.
13 00:01:31.740 ⇒ 00:01:41.510 Robert Tseng: Yeah, exactly. Because, like, the client, they can go and build reports, but they just don’t know what it’s saying. And so, like, we are in here because we’re taking the time to try to
14 00:01:41.680 ⇒ 00:01:45.990 Robert Tseng: Synthesize, like, what is this data actually showing me?
15 00:01:46.520 ⇒ 00:01:57.890 Robert Tseng: And, you know, that’s… that’s… that’s really the… that’s the art of it, that it’s… it’s not always straightforward, the numbers don’t really speak right off the page. We have to make some assumptions along the way.
16 00:01:57.920 ⇒ 00:02:10.049 Robert Tseng: But I think, we can… we can know more than… than… than not… than… than nothing at all as we… if we actually, like, kind of take the time to dig into this stuff.
17 00:02:10.650 ⇒ 00:02:11.450 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.
18 00:02:11.950 ⇒ 00:02:12.530 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
19 00:02:13.530 ⇒ 00:02:15.470 Mustafa Raja: Okay, cool.
20 00:02:15.470 ⇒ 00:02:22.659 Robert Tseng: Yeah, have any other kind of questions, or just things in general about analysis?
21 00:02:23.570 ⇒ 00:02:29.279 Robert Tseng: Or not even just analysis, but overall, kind of, how you’re doing, with Brainforge.
22 00:02:29.900 ⇒ 00:02:47.109 Mustafa Raja: Oh yeah, I love Printfush, to be honest. And apart from that, I, I’ve just recently got… gotten this, some of the data work, for dbt and all, so yeah, I’m excited to take it on. I have a working session with
23 00:02:47.240 ⇒ 00:02:48.910 Mustafa Raja: Sam, later today?
24 00:02:48.910 ⇒ 00:02:49.510 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
25 00:02:49.730 ⇒ 00:02:54.250 Mustafa Raja: For DBT, and hopefully, hopefully…
26 00:02:54.410 ⇒ 00:02:57.179 Mustafa Raja: I’ll have some good progress to show.
27 00:02:57.610 ⇒ 00:03:02.670 Mustafa Raja: In that world, and in, analytics also. Thank you.
28 00:03:03.430 ⇒ 00:03:06.790 Robert Tseng: Okay, great, yeah. I know that you’re being kind of,
29 00:03:07.020 ⇒ 00:03:22.609 Robert Tseng: thrown into a lot of different things. I think UTAM really believes in your skill set and thinks you can… I mean, you have the desire to want to learn a lot of things. You know, I would just say, you know, if you ever feel like you’re being pulled in too many different directions, and you want to focus more on one area, because
30 00:03:22.670 ⇒ 00:03:35.200 Robert Tseng: you feel shaky there, like, I think, you know, you can give that feedback, to us so that we know how to… our goal is not to set you up for failure, we don’t want you to, like.
31 00:03:35.540 ⇒ 00:03:35.920 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.
32 00:03:35.920 ⇒ 00:03:39.900 Robert Tseng: jump into things and not be able to actually execute them, right? So…
33 00:03:40.680 ⇒ 00:03:41.300 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.
34 00:03:41.930 ⇒ 00:03:45.790 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I’ll definitely let, let the team know if I feel that way.
35 00:03:46.500 ⇒ 00:03:59.460 Robert Tseng: Cool. Alright, well, appreciate it. And, yeah, I guess, hopefully the more we do these, we’ll… we’ll have, like, more, kind of in-the-weeds analysis kind of discussions in the future.
36 00:04:00.190 ⇒ 00:04:01.620 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, thank you so much.
37 00:04:01.990 ⇒ 00:04:04.490 Robert Tseng: Alright, thanks, Mustafa. Talk to you later. Bye.
