Just because you and your competitor are in the same business, making similar products or delivering the same services, and competing for the same clients, does not mean that they see the world the way you do. Skipping past this is one of the most fundamental mistakes that novices, as well as experienced professionals, can make one attempting to analyze raw data. Delete the scoop?
