Without intentional synthesis, "data driven" always means validating the biases baked into your semantic environment.
Data points that don't fit an org's established assumptions are easily swept under the rug.
Anyone interested in real insights needs to go data gathering and adopt a synthesis process that allows them to holistically inhabit that data, and intentionally curate a receptive semantic environment.

Don’t make “data-driven product decisions” — build a data-driven semantic environment
Like “growth mindset” or “agile development,” data-driven decision making has snuck its way into the way almost every product org describes itself. The trouble is that it doesn’t mean anything —…Pavel Samsonov (Medium)
Trying to improve the wrong dimension of #UX will only lead to waste. Learn the difference:
Wonky products are confusing; their mental model doesn't match the user's. Janky products are conceptually fine, but buggy or inconsistent.
Jank manifests only at the hi-fi stage of development, and can be solved by UI redesign or backend optimization. However, wonk must be caught at the conceptual stage with lo-fi tools. You will NOT be able to fix it on the #UI layer.
