Working on The Strategic Plan


Late in the evening. Working on sizing the addressed market for a strategic (5 year) plan. What a waste of time!

I spend hours and hours developing very detailed build ups of the market from large data sources. Then make "adjustments" at the end so that the answer matches what the bosses want. I guess that is a form of Bayesian Analysis.

I just found a major spreadsheet error in some intermediate steps. When corrected, it made no difference in the final answer.
I guess that it beats working for a living.
