Box plots (also called box-and-whisker plots) are powerful tools for visualizing distributions, spotting outliers, and quickly understanding how your data is spread. Here’s how to decode one. Invented by statistician John Tukey in the 1970s, box plots — also known as box-and-whisker plots — offer a compact way to visualize the distribution of data. Whether you are analyzing website behavior, survey results, or scientific measurements, a box plot helps you quickly see the center, spread, and any unusual values in your dataset. In this post, we will walk you through how to read a box plot step-by-step using real sample

You’re likely familiar with the name Dharmesh Shah. He’s the co-founder and CTO of HubSpot, as well as a prolific entrepreneur and domain collector. I fell in love with a tool he created before I realized he was behind it. Over the years, I’ve tried plenty of domain valuation calculators, and most of them feel like random number generators. They rarely explain how they arrived at the number, and their results are inconsistent at best. That’s not the case with Agent.AI’s Domain Value tool. It breaks down exactly how it evaluates a domain, using real logic and data. Here’s how
