really enjoyed this! I bought Growth Levers and How to Find Them; agree that case studies are the best inspiration

Yes, this is a fascinating theme and there is so much to unpack! Can't wait to read your follow-up studies.

In my experience, another excellent source of inspiration for finding leverage points is staying close to all the data that goes into business reviews. There is a treasure trove of contextual finds often begging to be turned into hypotheses that will validate some as insights. We both know metric trees will come to the rescue. :)

When it comes to individual metrics, I see a lot of potential in using data cubes for automated insight discovery. The big players have been using it for years (e.g. blog post below) but I don't see much adoption or even understanding of this topic in the general field. Would love to get your thoughts about it and happy to chat anytime!

Really enjoyed reading this!

I saw you mention the idea of leverage points on LinkedIn this week, but I deeply appreciated your elaboration on that thought here.

Your focus on understanding them through cases brings to mind the calibration method I was first introduced to through Cedric’s writing on Commoncog.

I think you’ve tapped into something special here. Excited to see where this goes.

Yes it’s very much related to the calibration method that Cedric talks about
