I feel as if there needs to be a modification to the phrase "Data Driven". Data, generally, will not help you predict the future. It is however, fantastic at finding bias, inefficient existing processes and tracking the results of your changes. When applied blindly you end up with scenario you described. Product direction that says something isn't necessary because the question was never asked to begin with. Science without the hypothesis.

"Data driven companies" aren't, because none of the people involved in making decisions ever took anything more than stats 101 and have never experienced a real world data situation where things are messy and if you aren't careful about how you measure and collect data you make it useless for decision making and also apparently because they don't teach goodharts law in business school?
