That context should always either be a history/trend of that number has changed over time, OR how it compares to its competition (2/4)
Don't just tell me the market cap of a company is 10 billion and move on… that means nothing. Why are you telling me? Is it because last year it was $3B? Great, now I know they’re growing. Is it because their competition hit $6B? Now I know they're the largest in the space (3/4)
This advice applies EVERYWHERE, for real. For sharing benchmark scores, specs, etc. To this day when I'm making videos, I try to never forget the PURPOSE of communication throughout the video, and that's a real #ProTip for making more concise, focused videos. That is all. (4/4)
