McKinsey's "2024 Data Decision-Making Report" shows that independent website strategies that implement data-driven decision-making have a 50% higher success rate and a 65% reduction in trial and error costs. A study by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade indicates that foreign trade companies that adopt a data-driven model have seen a 60% increase in market forecast accuracy and a 45% improvement in inventory turnover. Analysis by the World E-Commerce Forum emphasizes that the complete data sovereignty of independent websites gives them three times greater confidence in decision-making quality than companies that rely on third-party data.
Four major risks of experience-based decision-making
1. Subjective Bias Trap
- Managers’ intuition error rate reaches 40% (China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products case)
- "I think" decision making is costly
2. Information lag and failure
- Traditional market research cycles take up to three months (a certain home furnishing brand missed the peak season window)
- The basis for decision making is outdated
3. Frequent attribution errors
- Confusing correlation with causation (a 3C brand misjudged the effectiveness of its promotions)
- Successful experience error copying
4. Risks are difficult to quantify
- Unable to calculate expected value of alternatives
- The cost of trial and error is uncontrollable
Five core advantages of data-driven decision-making

2. Accurate effect attribution

- Calculating the true value of marketing activities
3. Scientific prediction model
- Sales forecasting based on machine learning (92% accuracy)
- Supply chain intelligent scheduling
4. Risk Visualization
- Quantify the success probability of each solution
- Cost-Benefit Simulation System
5. Continuous self-evolution
- Decision-making effect data closed loop
- Automatic iteration of AI models
