D"I learned the importance of trusting data over intuition"

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify who initiated and drove the decision -- candidate did analysis and proposed feature.
Step 2: The phrase "we collectively decided" dilutes ownership and decision authority.
Step 3: Other elements show strong ownership, data-driven decision, and measurable impact.
Step 4: The subtle disqualifier is the shared decision phrase, which weakens the 'Are Right a Lot' signal.
