my xp at big software corps has been that technical decisions are often heavily data driven. product decisions are rarely so.

i think about how there will deep dive root cause analysis for technical misses, but there is nothing like that for product misses.

There should be analyses of product misses in a well functioning product org, though getting to a concrete “root cause” can be a lot harder and may not need to be the goal.

You should at least be trying to understand, to the extent possible, why something didn’t work and then using that to better understand the problem you’re were originally trying to solve.
