Discovery Analysis

The analysis group within Discovery manages the Discovery Dashboard, as well as analyzing A/B tests and other data.

Current work
The Discovery Department's Analysis Team leads the Discovery Department in experimental design, data collection, and data analysis. In light of reduced capacity due to the departure of one of our two analysts, this quarter the team will not have its own goals, instead allocating itself as required to achieve the goals for Discovery listed in the other subsections.
