Curious how I squeezed $3M out of Procter and Gamble?

Levels of challenge are directly correlated to proficiency:
20hrs: hardest, least fruitful
100hr: most fun, most relative progress, still know nothing
1,000hrs: fun wears off, but you have tangible knowledge
10,000hrs: legitimate expertise

A structure to organize and track any experiment

I’d be curious to see how he modeled this out;
Namely, what’s driving the delta between the profit margin growth and top line growth YoY

Customer stickiness is a a scored metric we use to determine our pricing leverage
It's a confidence gauge for increasing a price for a given customer or product
Higher the cost of switching --> greater customer stickiness --> higher pricing leverage on a customer
