Quotes:

“A lot of work done in humanitarian aid, as an example, [has] flaws around measuring whether or not the food or supplies was delivered . . . rather than measuring the true outcome, which is whether or not people go to bed hungry. When you fail to measure the true outcome and you only measure the widgets produced or the bags of rice delivered, you could be having things where there's an unequal distribution of those supplies that you're offering, or it ends up benefiting only some families more than others.”

“One of the problems with the traditional survey is that you're already defining the universe of responses and questions. . . . So those unknown unknowns aren't even in your field of awareness.”
