Week 8 of the 12-Week Psychology of Buyers Series  The Transparency Paradox When 150 Data Points Feel Less Safe Than One Green Checkmark By  Arindam Bose ⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡ ⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡ The God-Dashboard Problem Last month, I sat with a friend—let's call him Rajesh—who was trying to decide between two apartments in Gurugram . Both were nearly identical: same builder, same tower, similar floor plans, within ₹8 lakh of each other. Rajesh is a data analyst at a fintech company.
