Course Description

Decision Intelligence with Causal Inference: From Correlation to Confident Business Experiments is a practical ebook course for entrepreneurs and business administration professionals who want to make better decisions with evidence, not guesswork. If you have ever wondered whether a marketing campaign truly caused growth, a product change improved retention, or a pricing shift increased profit, this course helps you move from correlation to causal thinking that stands up in real business conditions.

You will learn how to translate business outcomes into clear causal questions by defining treatments, outcomes, and metrics that match the decision at hand. The course explains counterfactual reasoning and shows how confounders, selection bias, and imperfect data can mislead even experienced teams. Using causal diagrams with DAGs and identification strategies such as the backdoor criterion, you will build intuition for when an estimate is credible and when it is not, so you can choose actions with confidence.

Entrepreneurship often requires fast iteration, so the course connects rigorous methods to practical experimentation. You will design randomized controlled trials and A B tests that avoid common pitfalls like interference, novelty effects, and logging errors, while developing sample size intuition, power awareness, and guardrail metrics for safe rollouts. You will also learn how to estimate treatment effects, interpret uncertainty, and communicate results without p hacking, using narratives that stakeholders can trust.

Because not every decision can be randomized, the ebook guides you through observational causal inference approaches that support real world business constraints. You will work with matching and propensity scores, difference in differences for policy changes and operational tweaks, regression discontinuity for threshold rules, and instrumental variables for hidden confounding and imperfect compliance. You will also explore heterogeneous effects and personalization through uplift modeling, helping you identify who benefits most and where to focus resources.

Hands on Python workflows using pandas and statsmodels help you apply decision intelligence techniques to marketing, product, pricing, and process case studies. Along the way, you will use reusable checklists and templates for experiment design and communication, and you will consider ethical causal inference topics like fairness, privacy, and unintended consequences.
