Hi - over at my Shifting the Ground, my Substack journey of economic and creativity - along various lines, this week I have been sharing. how I think there is a better way to score baskbetball games and ultimately how to better measure intelligent operations - I thought I would share here to see if there is an interest to discuss innovation and measuring what really matters - rather than what is easy. This is my linkedi post with a link - now this is part 3, Parts 1 and 2 are connected via Substack. Have a great weekend all - Danielle The Spurs led by 29 points in Game 4. They lost. And the decision-quality model I've been running all week saw it coming before the third quarter was three minutes old. This is the core problem I work on every day in transfer pricing: we measure outcomes and call it performance. We don't measure the quality of the decisions that produced those outcomes. This week I applied that same framework — what I'm calling SAT-style basketball scoring — to the NBA Finals. Four games of data later, the model has surfaced things the box score never could: → Josh Hart (9 traditional points across Games 1 and 4) grades as one of the series' most consistently valuable players → OG Anunoby's Game 4 earns the highest single-game SAT score of the entire series → A 29-point Spurs lead evaporated because their second-half decision quality collapsed — visible in the data before the scoreboard caught up Game 5 is Saturday in San Antonio. The Knicks lead 3–1. My prediction: Knicks in 5. Final piece of the series is live on Beyond the Binary — including a specific assignment for anyone who wants to run the model themselves on Saturday. → https://lnkd.in/duj_D39i

Just stopped by to wish everyone a great weekend. I started a hybrid in person and online campaign inspired from all the things I've learned here. I volunteer Tuesday, and I'm excited and nervous.
