Abstract
Developing trust with my clients and co-workers has been central to my career success since completing my MASc degree. I claim that automating my analytics contributed a surprising amount to developing trust in my work by making it repeatable, audit-able and alterable. In this talk, I’ll speak about those three features of automated analytics and their link to trust in the context of project examples, both successes and failures.
