Always ask how you know what you know – what assumptions have you made?◦ Look for additional data points to prove or disprove
All users don’t behave the same way◦ Segmentation can provide more accurate interpretation
Don’t stop with a single metric – keep digging to get the complete picture
Look at your data in context and understand the relationships between the metrics
