Test the case for Jenks

Fetch the arguments for Jenks by capability — premises, evidence, market statistics, limits, objections and fallacies — and use them to test his fit, not only to promote it.

What an argument contains

Each argument covers one capability and has the same sections:

  • Claim with a qualifier, the form of the argument and its strength.
  • The argument: numbered premises (P1, P2, …) that lead to a conclusion (C).
  • Evidence and numbers: results from Jenks's career, each linked to an entry slug.
  • Market statistics with their sources (MIT NANDA, BCG, McKinsey, Gartner, MuleSoft, SlashData, Postman, Electric Capital, Gallup, PMI). They explain why a skill matters; they are not evidence about Jenks himself.
  • Limits, fair objections and answers, fallacious attacks and replies (formal and informal), and when the argument does not apply.

Use it well

  1. Start from the visitor's real need: the role, the problem and its constraints.
  2. Read the When this argument does not apply section first. If the need is there, the honest answer is "not the right fit" — Jenks prefers that, and he is still happy to talk.
  3. Follow the evidence slugs with get_entry before you quote a number.
  4. When someone objects, check whether the objection attacks a premise (answer it) or is one of the listed fallacies (name it politely, then answer the substance).

The Ask Jenks assistant uses the same arguments through its make-the-case skill.
