Data Building for Deduction

The importance of data building

Data building is such a crucial part of deduction and induction. It helps speed things up considerably when you just recognize the pattern.

Just like a mechanic can diagnosed a car problem just by hearing how it sounds. He has a few theories, go straight to testing one by one then Ah, this is the problem.

You completely by pass the imagination, go for the experience, and go straight to the testing theories.

What kind of data should you know

1 People around you

I believe the first thing that everyone should do is to use your talent to help people that you care about. By building some data about people you love and by extension, people around you, you will see if something changes about them. Then act accordingly.

One more thing is that positive reinforcement is real. We need the audience and the applause. But remember to keep your mystery. Choose what you should reveal and what to keep.

Lastly, stalking is pretty fun itself. Being able to play a little game of guessing who does what can be stimulating.

Here’s a list of few things that I recommend to start paying attention to:

• Dresscode
• Jewlery
• Hair
• Tone of voice with different emotion
• Daily routine ( don’t have to be exact time)

2 Local

It is so difficult to have a static picture to study in real life. Studying the local is the next best thing.

Even though it’s not static, but it’s pretty much the same day by day and you can somewhat compare people, activities, the street from your memory.

Do you remember that taxi chasing scene in Sherlock BBC, the study in Pink? When he remembers the street and the signs and caught up with a taxi on foot.

Chances are we’re never going to be like that, but close.

Here’s a starter list that I recommend:

• Different routes to go around
• People fashion sense
• People’s pace of traveling
• Construction
• People’s activities

3 Trending

Trendy stuff such as activities, fashion, widgets are a good next step since your data can be relevant to a lot of people, hence giving you more usages for your data.

You can start with knowing how people associated with these act, what do they often do:

• Drug ( weed)
• LGBTQ
• Academic
• Athletes

4 Your own choosing field

It is extremely difficult to be a human wikipedia for obvious reason. Sharing your expertise with others and consulting them would be your best bet.

Instead I’d suggest you choose a field of your choice, give it some time be a professional about it and exchange information with other detectives.

You need to be valuable to get value from others.
