Statistics Don't Cough

Six Problems, One City, One Corgi

Every number in this book is real. Every character is invented. The gap between them is the point.

The Six Patterns

The Symptom — solving what is visible instead of what is causal

The Invisible — ignoring what cannot be seen, felt, or voted on

The Single Number — trusting the metric that hides the system

The Mirage — responding to perceived risk instead of measured risk

The Silo — optimising the piece while the whole fails

The Memory — building solutions that do not survive their creators
