Okay, so today I wanted to dig into something I’ve been messing around with: figuring out the “us vs belmont outcome.” Sounds kinda vague, I know, but stick with me. Basically, I was trying to compare some data and see how it stacked up against a benchmark – in this case, something I’m calling “Belmont.”
The Setup
First, I gotta get my data in order. I had a bunch of info scattered across a few different spreadsheets. Nothing too crazy, but enough to make it a pain to compare manually. So, first step, combine everything into one master sheet. This took a bit of copy-pasting and reformatting, but I got there.
Getting My Hands Dirty
Now for the fun part. I wanted to see some actual numbers, so I started running some basic calculations. Nothing fancy, just averages, percentages, that sort of thing. This helped me get a feel for my own data – the “us” part of the equation.
- Calculated average performance metrics.
- Figured out the percentage of successful outcomes.
- Identified some key areas where things were looking good, and others where they weren’t.
The Belmont Comparison
Next up, I needed to introduce the “Belmont” data. This was my baseline, the thing I was comparing my results to. I had this data already, thankfully, so it was just a matter of plugging it into my master sheet.
With both sets of data side-by-side, I could start to see some real differences. I created a few simple charts to visualize the comparison. This really helped me see the “outcome” I was looking for. Some areas where “we” were doing better, some where “Belmont” was ahead, and some where things were pretty much even.
The Result
After all that crunching and comparing, I finally had a clearer picture. It wasn’t a super dramatic difference, but enough to give me some good insights. I documented all my findings, of course, so I can refer back to them later. All in all, a good day of data wrangling!
The final outcome showed many areas were we are better, like customer satisfaction, and some others were we can improve like product delivery time.
