Wheeler offers practical methods for making sense of numbers and the data that organizations generate. Readers learn to recognize how measurements naturally vary, to tell ordinary fluctuation apart from meaningful change, and to read information in ways that support better decisions. The approach is aimed at managers, analysts, and anyone who must work with figures day to day, showing how to understand what the data is actually saying rather than reacting to every number that moves.
