You also need to read about failure to account for survivorship bias. Eg, did some entity fail even though they were doing the same things as the successful entities? If you detect that, then it's evidence that the techniques of the successful entities are no guarantee of success. That some other technique or factor or luck was the actual differentiator. That's useful information when you're trying to decide what techniques of successful entities may be worth repurposing to your situation or not.
