About Zygmore

Small labs for understanding business.

What this is

Zygmore is a growing public collection of small explorations of business problems: should a price change, how much stock is enough, what a number really says. Each lab shares something you can use or look at — a tool, an illustrated case, a discovery, a revision or an open question.

You do not need business or analytics training. Every lab starts with one plain question and a picture. Trying it with your own numbers, working through a case, and reading the assumptions are all optional, and you can skip to whichever helps.

How things are labelled

  • Illustrative — a made-up example that explains an idea.
  • Model-checked — every number on the page is recalculated by automated checks against the calculation it describes.

Examples are hypothetical unless they say otherwise. Nothing here describes confidential work. Labs can change: when something is revised, the page says so.

What this is not

It is not a consulting service, and a tool's result is a useful first calculation, not advice for your business.

Who makes it

Zygmore is an independent project written and built by Bo Zhang. Tools, explanations and examples are the author’s own work unless a source is credited on the page.
