Overview

Do you believe your decisions are purely data-driven? Think again. Most data projects don't fail because of technology; they fail because of an invisible enemy: the ""Human Layer."" As a CDO, data architect, or engineer, you know that even the cleanest dataset in your warehouse cannot guarantee a correct decision if its interpretation is compromised by cognitive errors. The Human Layer is not academic theory. It is a practical survival manual for the era of irrationality, written by a practitioner for experts who manage real-world data platforms and business decisions. What's inside: Over 300 ""bugs"" in the code of our reasoning, categorized by how they impact your work daily: Group Dynamics: How HiPPO bias (Highest Paid Person's Opinion) and Groupthink bury the facts. Information Processing: Why the McNamara Fallacy leads us to measure only what is easy, while ignoring what truly matters. Systemic and Statistical Errors: From Algorithmic Bias to Simpson's Paradox-the glitches distorting your models. Memory and Time: How Recency Bias and Hindsight Bias rewrite the history of your dashboards. Why you need this book on your desk: Diagnosis and Mitigation: Every bias includes a guide on how to spot it within your team and how to minimize its impact. Data Integrity: True integrity doesn't end in the database; it ends the moment you eliminate the last bias during the interpretation of results. For Leaders: Learn to build systems that account for these errors and neutralize them. Stop relying on the idea that you are immune to manipulation just because you are experienced. Your mind is a battlefield, and this book is your best defense. Stop just collecting data. Start seeing it without filters.
