This question evaluates a candidate's stakeholder communication and influence using data, specifically assessing the ability to present analysis to non-technical partners, manage pushback, make trade-offs, and demonstrate measurable outcomes in a cross-functional decision context for a Data Scientist role.

Describe a time you influenced a cross-functional decision using data when stakeholders initially disagreed with your recommendation. Include: the decision context, your hypothesis and analysis plan, how you tailored the message to non-technical partners, how you handled pushback, what trade-offs you made, the measurable outcome, and what you’d do differently next time.
