LinkedIn Analytics — describe honestly, then refuse to over-conclude

The characteristic sentence of LinkedIn analytics is "carousels do 3x better for me", built on four posts. With engagement as heavy-tailed as it is, four posts will show a 3x difference between almost any two groups you care to define. These three scripts stop that sentence becoming a strategy.

Your own data only. Nothing is fetched; scraping post or profile data is prohibited by User Agreement §8.2 and none of this analysis needs it.

Workflow

1. Get the export. LinkedIn Analytics → Post impressions → Export, or Settings → Data privacy → Get a copy of your data. CSV and JSON both work.

2. Describe it. Exit 0 analysed / 2 below the 10-post floor, descriptive only / 3 unusable. Reports median and MAD rather than mean and standard deviation — one breakout post makes a mean describe a distribution none of your posts belong to — plus Tukey percentile bands and a 1.5×IQR breakout threshold, so "this did well" has a number behind it.
