The risk that could impact the value of this analysis is that the objective of the original research may not be met, because the team modified the research question to fit the data, rather than finding the data that fits the research question. This could lead to a loss of alignment between the research question and the business problem, stakeholder needs, or analytical methods. The team may end up answering a different or less relevant question than the one they intended to answer, and thus provide less valuable insights or recommendations.
