Question

What does Berinato mean by the statement 'The bigger and more complex the data, and the less you know going in, the more open-ended the work'?

Berinato's statement implies that when dealing with large and complex data, if you have less prior knowledge or understanding, the process of analyzing or interpreting the data becomes more open-ended. This means that there are more possibilities and directions to explore, making the work less structured and more exploratory in nature.

This question was asked on:

Visual discovery is the most complicated quadrant because it consists of two categories: testing a hypothesis and mining for patterns, trends and anomalies. Berinato says: "The former is focused, whereas the latter is more flexible. The bigger and more complex the data, and the less you know going in, the more open-ended the work."
