Approx. 15 min read
An insurance statistician notices her own premium jump for no reason she can explain, and using her insider access to the pricing model, she reverse-engineers the signal into a date. Telling no one, she quietly restructures her entire life around it. When the date comes and goes, she goes back to the data and discovers she misread what the number was actually measuring.
