For a sensitive equity study, analysts keep trying new cuts until a stark disparity appears, then plan to publish only that cut. What integrity practice should the information manager require?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Fishing through cuts until a shocking chart appears is like flipping coins until you get ten heads and then claiming the coin is magic. Pre-register the questions and methods for sensitive equity work so the plan—not the thrill of a chart—drives what you publish. Integrity beats surprise.
Full Explanation
Analytic fishing and undisclosed multiple comparisons inflate false findings, especially on sensitive equity topics. Pre-specifying questions, populations, and methods reduces selective reporting. Information managers should require analysis plans before high-stakes publication.
