Carl Pearson on minimum viable rigor in research

Rigor doesn't have to mean slow. A quantitative researcher's take.

Carl Pearson, Staff Quantitative Researcher at Reddit, joined Rally to tackle a question every researcher wrestles with: how do you maintain rigor when resources are tight and demands keep growing? In this AMA, he introduces the concept of minimum viable rigor and shares how to get the most signal from every study.
