I lead the policy team now, and I answer for the analysis through other people's work instead of digging into it myself. And here's the part that guts me, the numbers rarely decide anything. The politics I spent years fighting still pick the outcome, no matter how clean our work is.
More people experience this than they realize.
You answer for analysis you no longer do, and the politics decide the outcome anyway.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
