Creating an Explore, Validate, Amplify framework for Big Data Analytics projects

Projects related to Big Data have to deal with a lot of ambiguity, evolution, and experimentation.

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar?
