What about exploratory statistics? (Robust) Summary Statistics,
Scatterplots, Histograms, Parallel Coordinates…
They are not following the same paradigm as frequentist *tests* but such
test’s results are often misunderstood of what they test for and what
these results mean in practice – so being different may be a good thing
anyway.
Aside of that, they are relatively easy to discuss with others, aiding
sensemaking.
