9/10★★★★★
Very instructive and informative, with lots of practical insights I can apply at work and personally too. On top of that, the tools are generic and not tied to a specific discipline.

My toolkit is better equipped to research an advisory assignment up front. I'm more aware of my own assumptions and biases.
