Be very careful with that.

Analytics driven development easily leads to bad outcomes. 1. Important, but less frequently used feature gets moved to a hidden spot leading to even less usage leading to eventual removal. 2. Poorly functioning features not getting the improvement they need because few use them due to how poorly they function.

I have seen these patterns a lot in software where decisions are based on analytics, and I usually stop using that sofware when I find a replacement.
