The Hunch Tax

Most of what your team decided this week was a guess in a data costume. For decades that was the smart move — and the reason it was smart just disappeared.

Ask any operator how their team makes decisions and you’ll hear a confident answer: with the data. Then watch a week of actual decisions. The pricing nudge that shipped because it felt right. The channel everyone doubled down on because it seemed to be working. The roadmap call made in the room, on instinct, while the number that would have settled it sat one query away and untouched. Most operating decisions aren’t made on evidence. They’re made on a hunch — and then narrated, afterward, as if the data had led the way.
