summary
Argues data leadership is an infinite game and efficiency matters at three levels: individual, team, organization; claims 70% experience it (impostor syndrome) and that only three in five million startups become unicorns. Describes a concrete project using smartphone machine diagnostics (accelerometer, magnetometer, microphone) that yields IEEE publications, warns survivorship and confirmation biases, recommends focusing on innovators to hit a 15–18% tipping point, and favors simple models per Occam’s razor except when probing causality.
