Such situations are not uncommon, they do happen. In military context also, surveillance data can throw up wrong warnings, false positives as well as false negatives can have serious ramifications, especially in a high tempo op of connected battlefield. In businesses, there are high stakes involved. Today, data and analytics underpins a competitive advantage of a company.
In case of simple algorithms, we may easily plot the data and visually verify the trend, but in case of algorithms employing neural nets, plotting a graph may not be possible especially when the dimensions of datasets are more than three! How do we trust our algorithms in such a scenario?
Quite a lot has been going on:
Leadership at the Forefront for a Successful Analytics Delivery | Analytics Insight

Gartner says that 87% of Organizations Have Low BI and Analytics Maturity. One of the primary reasons for this low analytics adoption has been the lack of effective leadership. A strong leadership sets the battleground for a resounding victory. On the other hand, if uncertainty from the top exists concerning the endeavour, then it can plunge the initiative into stagnation.
Driving successful analytics adoption through the enterprise requires the organizations to treat analytics as an innovation capability, not merely a function. The leader will set the tone with an active sponsorship and change management.

Hoops Analytics: a closer look at Maryland's slow starts

There's been lots of discussion over the past month or so concerning Maryland's slow starts, which have put the team in a hole in the first quarter or more of almost every game.
Yesterday, the excellent Emily Giambalvo of the Washington Post wrote a series of tweets looking at a number of stats to try to understand these slow starts (summary: Maryland misses a lot of 3s and turn the ball over more).
So now, the quest to find what's going on early in games that is *different* from the rest of games. (We can't tell what's actually causing Maryland to play poorly early, but we can at least look for things that are different.)
