I think it's funny how MBA's at the end of the day base their decisions on glancing at a chart. So now, the engineers are catching on to optimizing for that pretty chart.

I made a mistake by spitballing sales figures for a product and someone incorporated it into an ROI calc that was being judged to the decimal place.

Agree. I never paid attention to it while building the business, but then later saw how much weight potential investors gave to predictability and how much customers wanted it too. Even my electric company gives me the option to pay a fixed monthly amount that grows by x% per month versus having to budget for variability.
