Over the last four years, my service business has become a product business. During the transition, I’ve had a chance to reflect on the uses and pitfalls of each model.

There were three of us: Greg Maletic, Alex Pasco, and yours truly. And then there was the fourth, Cabel Sasser. We wanted to jokingly “catch him up” on movies we figured everyone should see, and he hadn’t.

There is a (probably apocryphal) story that is often told to young quantitative political scientists. During World War II, US Bomber Command was losing dozens of planes on each mission.
