I think that's exactly backwards. I think you review data to use your intuition to form the hypothesis or question, and then look for empirical data to try to falsify it.
Putting intuition at the end of the decision making process is a pretty solid way to screw the entire thing up.

The decision making process, both for Amazon HQ is inherently subjective / has too many dimensions to make an objective decision. i.e. the process is for selecting out of the final 20, that have been fully vetted and feasibility established. Or for deciding among three finalist engineers who’ve passed all interviews and tests and you can only hire one. Or schools or colleges or whatever.
