Welcome to Halladin Labs
The future of analytics is agentic
I'm Scott Halladin. I build and evaluate agentic systems for analytics work, and hold them to the same bar as any other intervention: does it change the decision, and can you prove it?
Approach
Ideas shaping how analytics gets done
I build and scale data analytics teams — heavy focus on product analytics and experimentation, and more recently on agentic analytic tools that take over the grunt work. I'm as comfortable setting the strategic vision for what a data org should become as I am doing the work to get it there.
An analytics team's success should be measured by how many decisions it actually changed — not dashboards shipped, not queries run. If a report isn't moving a decision, automate it, and put the team back on work that does.

Selected work
Three things worth
reading about
Each one is a question someone needed answered, how I went after it, and what changed. Duplicate a card to add more.
A confident wrong number is the only failure that matters
Built a natural-language analytics agent that a stranger can trust — sourced answers over plausible guesses, and a fast path for questions that don't need the full machinery.
Automating the experiment check made our statistics invalid
A daily automated health check on live A/B tests exposed quietly broken inference — and forced a rebuild from fixed-sample testing to something that survives being run every day.
The agent isn't the bottleneck
Assessed whether an autonomous ad-creative loop is actually buildable. Four of six stages are easy engineering — the other two are gated by platform trust, not agent capability.
