Problem

Scenario

You’ve analyzed a product or operational issue and found that the data points in a different direction than a stakeholder’s strong intuition. The stakeholder is confident, influential, and already leaning toward a decision based on experience rather than evidence.

Question

Tell me about a time your data contradicted a stakeholder’s gut feeling. How did you handle the conversation?
