How would I analyze their data to determine changes I would make to improve the system. I told the CEO I would need to see the types of information I was able to get my hands on once I determined a general direction I wanted to go in. She wanted to know exactly what my process was going to be to analyze information. I again told her I would determine how I was going to analyze the data once I was able to see what types of data I was able to get. I think she was simpl picking my brain to go back and use my analysis techniques to use for themselves. Still pissed
