🔍 A - ANALYSE DATA.TXT
Root Cause Analysis & Statistical Investigation
ANALYSE PHASE INVESTIGATION PROTOCOL
====================================
Statistical Analysis Tools:
• Hypothesis testing for process improvement opportunities
• Correlation analysis between variables and outcomes
• Regression analysis for predictive process modeling
• ANOVA for comparing process variations
• Chi-square testing for categorical data relationships
Root Cause Analysis Methods:
• 5 Whys technique for problem drilling
• Fishbone diagrams for cause categorisation
• Fault tree analysis for systematic investigation
• Statistical correlation identification
• Process capability assessment
MuseOS Analysis Example:
Problem: Low LinkedIn conversion rates (23%)
Root Causes Identified:
• Manual response delays (4+ hours average)
• Generic messaging lacking personalisation
• No Tesla case study integration in initial responses
• Booking process requires multiple steps
• Mobile experience not optimised for Gen Z
Statistical Findings:
• 67% of inquiries occur during business hours
• 89% of high-converting leads mention specific services
• 45% drop-off rate at Calendly booking stage
• 78% higher engagement with retro aesthetic content
Advanced Analysis Techniques
- Design of experiments → Systematic testing of process variables
- Multi-vari analysis → Variation source identification
- Process capability studies → Performance vs requirements assessment
