We Love Ugly Data! The Deep Analysis Podcast

The thirteenth episode of the podcast that we know and love as “We Love Ugly Data!” is out; available everywhere you get your podcasts from and, of course, in video form via YouTube (which we’ve embedded below). As always, it’s three topics in (just a touch over) 30 minutes, and show notes are, as usual, included below the embedded video. Matt and Dan in the chairs this time, in a very IDP focused episode.
In this month’s episode:
Topic 1: Irrational Exuberance?
First, Dan provides an introduction to the IDP Market Analysis that he’s recently completed (and you can purchase copies of right now). The pair then move on to talk about one of the key findings in the report itself, which suggests that the vendors surveyed for the research are very bullish about their projected increases in short-term revenue. Dan balances this against his own market projections and Matt compares start-ups with hungry baby birds (it makes sense in context, trust us).
Topic 2: GenAI’s outsized impact
Referencing another data point from the IDP report, Dan talks about how GenAI continues to wield a huge influence in the product roadmaps for IDP vendors and points to a couple of recent specific announcements (see show notes below) to illustrate that fact. Matt chips in with a reminder of the fact that metered access to GenAI is coming over the horizon.
Topic 3: Data and Research Efficacy
Referencing a recent blog post on the subject, Matt and Dan discuss the challenges in gathering and maintaining research data for market analysis reports, ensuring that it is representative and how they go about choosing what is and what isn’t added into the final published analysis. There’s also some insight into who are the real buyers (and readers) of this sort of specialized research.
