Sporting director Graeme Jones outlined why analytics was crucial in identifying Hearts' new head coach Wouter Vrancken quickly.
The 47-year-old Belgian takes charge at Tynecastle just over a week after Derek McInnes departed for Rangers.
"We obviously have the support of the analytics side to flag up the best candidates, but Wouter was definitely a standout within that," Jones said.
"It's the same way it works with players. They give us clarity as to what decision making needs to be. And then from there, it's up to us to make sure the human process comes out on top."
Jones had an online meeting with Vrancken before a face-to-face, full-day interview in London last week as Hearts aimed to get their new head coach in before players get back to work.
"The main thing for me was that when we had to start pre-season training tomorrow, that we would have our new head coach in," he said.
"So, it was just as clean and as thorough a process as we could go through."
