4 Types of Actionable Information

 , updated on
Actionable information is meaningful data that is useful to making a decision or solving a problem. The term is used to distinguish between information that can improve things and information that serves as interesting trivia. The following are common types of actionable information.

Timely

Information that applies to now or the near future. Such as a weather report for tomorrow.

Accurate & Precise

Information that is accurate and precise. For example, a weather report that describes the weather by hour for the next 48 hours with a reasonably high probability of being correct.

Credible

Information that comes from credible sources such as a national weather agency.

Relevant

The relevance of information to a decision or problem. For example, an investor will typically regard revenue information for a company as more actionable than a vanity metric such as brand engagement.
