Which retail analytics approach has most significantly improved how astronomers distribute telescope observation time among competing research proposals?

Modern astronomy relies heavily on sophisticated retail-inspired analytics to manage the massive data streams from space telescopes and observatories. Just as retailers track customer behaviors and preferences, astronomical institutions must strategically manage 'consumption' of telescope time, data storage, and research focus areas. Test your knowledge about how astronomical organizations are using retail-inspired analytics to revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos!
