Sometimes metrics don't work in business. It is done on gut feeling. Like the late Steve Jobs decided that a tablet with a stylus will not sell and ordered a touch screen version. He had no data - just a hunch.
That is why large companies using metrics can be upended by a start-up which takes a risk with no metrics.
