Unit 8: Analysis and Communication

Analysis produces a result. Communication determines whether the audience can see what that result actually means—including the uncertainty and limitations.

The goal is not a polished conclusion with all the uncertainty removed. The goal is a claim whose evidence and boundaries remain visible.

What you should be able to prove

By the end of the Unit, you should be able to:

• state a finding in one bounded sentence;
• identify the evidence supporting it;
• name uncertainty and at least one alternative explanation;
• explain a limitation; and
• recommend the next evidence-gathering step.

You may use a fictional analysis result. The assessment is the reasoning chain, not access to a specific analytics platform.
