This article was born from a request from a potential client that made me think. Sometimes we become cynical, indifferent, towards certain situations. As individuals because we often have problems much closer to us such as home, family, work. As legal entities, because dealing with certain things may not make sense in terms of turnover, costs, otherwise we pass as companies that are not spontaneous, hypocritical (washing), etc.
We are seeking a talented designer/developer to create a comprehensive data dashboard on the impacts of antimicrobial resistance. Each year, AMR causes nearly 1.3 million deaths and contributes to another 3.7 million deaths. And low- and middle-income countries face a disproportionate impact, with nearly 90 percent of deaths occurring in these countries.
The above made me think that mostly the weakest pay the consequences of something that very often they don’t even have control over. I also think of those companies in difficulty, partly due to their own fault, but that cannot access certain company antibiotics due to their accessibility, for example certain support, consultancy, machinery, tenders, etc.. Anyone can get sick involuntarily from some error, but I often find the damage resulting from certain errors disproportionate. And maybe owners who have companies in non-problematic markets close because they cannot afford certain services. And some other companies, which perhaps have more questionable ethics, continue because the cash allows them to. There is a kind of Darwinism based on wealth… or statistical Darwinism… Pareto for friends.
Just as the richest countries can afford antibiotics that do not have the problem of resistance, only certain companies, especially medium-sized ones and above, can afford a statistician or data scientist, understood as an employee. This certainly gives him an edge and various additional defenses against potentially costly choices.
Fortunately, I don’t like being an employee and have created a service, similar to the accountant, to make statistics more accessible.
Just as certain vaccines enhance immunity, statistics enhance company turnover and lower the risks and costs of getting sick.
If you want new antibiotics for free, or even specific vaccines, you can find a lot of free material on the Enterprise Statistics channel, but that’s not all. If you want more targeted prevention, contact me for a free initial call.
