3 Accepted Wisdom Poor data results in poor studies - data are important. Data are expensive to acquire, so do so only once. Data are often required by more than one person. Data are easy to store. Data retrieval is cheaper than data collection. Use of common data gives consistency. Data management is a good thing.

4 Hawkins’s Propositions
If you collect all of the data that is available you can not store and retrieve it. There is no way to store data that makes retrieval easy. The data that is stored is never quite what you want. It is easier to obtain your own data than use a database. You can never trust the data in databases. Data management is an expensive overhead

5 Forder’s Reminder ‘Data’ come in all shapes and sizes:
The maintenance demands of the Warrior AFV as recorded in Gulf War II Six months of reports and signals from a brigade HQ in Kosovo Trials results for an in-service weapon The expected performance of the weapons carried by JSF when it enters service Output from a low-level combat model for a range of circumstances The bad guy’s order of battle in 2015 etc, etc

6 Syndicate Topics Red It is impossible to manage data collection from real operations - discuss. Green Raw data should not be stored - only collated and analysed data is of any value - discuss. Blue What is the minimum level of data review that analysts should conduct before a study?
