Life is messy. We struggle, we toil, and we fail. We try again, only to fail once more. But maybe, just maybe, something eventually works out. Still, at its core, life is full of uncertainty.
Sometimes, we just need a little structure, a gentle push, a reliable friend, and some data to help us make sense of the chaos.
