RE: New book

Hi Ted

First of all they are not Graig's models ;-)

I use such models not that often as I would like. Unfortunately most companies like the reactive way... But IMHO that has started to change...

Of course you never get a high precision. But it's much better than doing no CP at all!

Even if you use some expensive tools, IMHO, the precision is not much higher. The problem, most of the time, is to feed them with good data (garbage in, garbage out...).
