When people want numbers to back what they already decided

People come to me for numbers, but most of them already know what they want the numbers to say. When the data doesn't back up their decision, I feel the pressure to make it fit anyway. I'm caught between what's actually true and what everyone wants to hear. Standing on the honest number can cost me.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're squeezed between what the data really says and what people want it to say.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
