growth work is observation before execution.

The chart is a sketch of the question. The headline is the conclusion drawn beneath. Nine years means I’ve watched a lot of curves refuse to bend until exactly the right thing was changed — and most of the time, the thing was small.

lead digital analyst

ran enterprise analytics across various industries. built the practice's experimentation rigor — p < 0.01 became the floor, not the goal.

digital analyst

in the weeds: tracking implementations, custom dashboards, the early lifecycle work that became the loyalty thesis. 50+ dashboards started here.

cohort retention without the magic.

how to read a retention curve honestly. why most "uplift" disappears in the second cohort, and what to ask before believing the first.

agentic workflows, from someone down the rabbit hole.

i go deep on AI — agents, CLI-first tooling, Claude Code, the whole stack. how to wire an analyst loop that ships work without you in the room. live builds, not slides.

06 / about

who’s writing this.

3rd person on the bio, 1st person everywhere else

Faiszal reads data for a living. mostly looks at the same kind of page for nine years.

Growth Manager at Antikode in Jakarta — across 20+ enterprise accounts, 50+ dashboards, and about ~15% retention uplift on the work that started this career.

Work loop is small: instrument the data, sit with what it actually says, write down the next thing a team should ship. The instrumenting is craft; the sitting is the job; the writing is the deliverable.

Currently most interested in: AI agents that ship analyst work, CLI-first workflows over chat windows, and the smallest loop a team can run on Claude Code without me in the room.
