Designing the framework for heuristics-driven and data-driven hypotheses forms the foundation of the problem solving framework. The entire blueprint of the problem and problem universe can be captured in this single framework. This isn't a fancy document or any complicated tool. It's just a simple and straightforward way to structure and represent the problem solving approach.
There are three parts to it:
Heuristics-driven Hypotheses Matrix (HDH)
Data-driven Hypotheses Matrix (DDH)
The convergence of HDH and DDH
The heuristics-driven hypotheses is the final and refined version of the hypotheses list that we discussed earlier. The matrix captures every minute detail we need from the hypotheses. It helps us prioritize and filter the hypotheses based on data availability and other results. It also helps us gather all our results in one single place and assimilate in order to render a perfect story. Once the entire HDH is populated, the initial...
