“I think quantitative data is the smoke, but qualitative data points to the fire. That’s where you find the root cause. It’s tempting to look at aggregated data and jump to conclusions. But when you actually talk to your users, you begin to understand the real issues. Quantitative data is an important starting point, but qualitative insights are the gold standard.
