Terms like “business intelligence” and “data analytics” mean different things in different contexts and the only way to hack through the Forest of Jargon is with a Machete of Specificity.

There are four ways of making sense out of data once it’s been formatted for reporting, and these are descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics. Descriptive and diagnostic analytics help you construct a narrative of the past while predictive and prescriptive analytics help you envision a possible future.
