insights
Flashes of clarity
Insights are moments of clear understanding, especially ones that penetrate beneath surface appearances to reveal something essential.
The word implies sudden clarity rather than gradual learning: The research yielded valuable insights into consumer behavior.
In business contexts, insights often refers to data-driven discoveries about customers or markets, sometimes inflated to mean any observation at all.
