I'm on the record as thinking DS-as-Insights-Generator is a weak vision for data science, but another problem with this model is that it feels a bit like science fair. It can be fun and even educational, but who actually does anything with their poster board once they're done?https://twitter.com/imightbemary/status/1360378868511559680 …

Tools may fall out of favor or become obsolete, but they've still got more longevity than a science fair trifold

i think about this as DS teams needing understand how stakeholders make decisions (what tools, processes, and data) and use "Insights" to build data products that are core to decision-making process (i.e. metrics on dashboards or literal recommendations on how to act next).

I completely agree! Knowing how decisions are made makes it a lot easier to plug into those processes in the right way

Would be awesome to hear what you’d consider to be a best-in-class example of this

Sure. Cohorting users (or whatever your unit of analysis is) is a pretty classic example. Good segmentation turns one ill-defined problem into several smaller more tractable problems, and it gives you a basis for asking deeper questions.
