The problem with looking at our data and trying to predict a daily sales number is that the variation between Monday and Saturday is really big. And so that like, artificially creates more uncertainty than there really is. So what I mean is it dawned on me today that we can get more accurate measurements of when we're going to run out of stock. If instead of running all of my analysis on a what is the average day, instead say what is theaverage week? Because the variation between weeks should be much smaller.
Grey gets a promotion, and is trying to tame chaos. Myke gets some important news during the recording. They also cannot resist more discussion on backpacks, as well as answering some Ask Cortex questions on 'why you should always have tasks left over at the end of the day', and 'why they do not want to build an app'.
