See also Guesstimate https://getguesstimate.com. Strengths include treating label and data as a unit, a space for examining the reasoning for a result, and the ability to replace an estimated distribution with sample data => you can build a model and then refine it over time. I'm amazed Excel and Google Sheets still haven't incorporated these things, years later.

People really should look at the work of Gary Stevenson here: https://youtu.be/TflnQb9E6lw
The truth is economic growth hasn’t been occurring in real terms for most people for a long time and the rich have been transferring money from the poor to themselves at a dramatic rate.
I’m starting to think the entire system is corrupt and we are headed for a destroyed Europe and a civil war in the US. Maybe I’m very pessimistic but this moment in history feels like the end of the American empire, what comes after this is extremely uncertain but people only seem to demand a fair piece of the wealth after a world war.
