Empirically Grounded Analytic (EGA) research emerges at the intersection of empirical and analytical research. Modeling captures non-linearities and elements of distributions and allows these parameters to be incorporated into decision making. Empirical research transforms observations into knowledge. We empirically ground an analytic model when we create knowledge by toggling between its insights and what we observe when we make use of those insights in practice. Empirical grounding facilitates the transition from insight to decision tool.
