Causal Discovery & Inference — Practitioner Primer

A practical, practitioner-focused primer that helps teams turn observational data into defensible causal insight. Explains causal questions, key concepts (counterfactuals, confounding, causal diagrams), common quasi‑experimental designs (difference‑in‑differences, regression discontinuity, instrumental variables, interrupted time series, synthetic controls, matching), concrete implementation steps, and a compact checklist of validity checks and sensitivity analyses teams can apply before acting.

Causal Discovery & Inference — Practitioner Primer

A practical, non‑technical practitioner guide to turning observational data into defensible causal insight. Explains when causal methods are necessary, how common quasi‑experimental strategies work (difference‑in‑differences, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, natural experiments, synthetic controls), step‑by‑step workflows, a compact assumptions checklist, minimum evidence for internal decisions, and guidance for combining causal checks with experiments.

Causal Discovery & Inference — Quick Reference

A practical, practitioner‑focused guide to turning observational data into defensible causal insight. Explains causal thinking, DAG basics, common quasi‑experimental strategies (natural experiments, DiD, IV, RDD, matching), key assumptions and diagnostics, a concise decision guide for selecting methods given typical data constraints, and a quick robustness checklist you can apply before acting on results.
