How do you wrestle with the importance of being data-driven/tracking progress for community health <> not potentially run the mistake of optimizing for the wrong thing in community ?

Seen this dynamic a few times, curious if anyone has any opinions.

I never really liked the word "data-driven". I rather always say "data-informed" because at the end of the day, data suggestes something, but I always talked to users to dig deeper and find out what they think and if it's really worth the time to optimize it.

Ever feel like you're in a situation where the 1on1 sentiment says one thing,but the overall trends says another? 

For ex., w product where a user says they like "x", but analytics data says the opposite. 

Curious w how to deal w something similar but in managing community.

Data also showed that the product was not used so often. So I talked to users and asked them what they think about this product. They all said that they love the vision of the product and it would be a game changer for them, but at the current state it is not very usable.
