/ˈdeɪ-tə-veɪn/ (DAY-tuh-vayn)
noun
1. A hidden or continuously flowing source of valuable data, insights, or information that feeds decisions, creativity, or profit—often tapped quietly but relied on heavily.
2. By extension, a person, system, or habit that consistently produces useful signals, trends, or intelligence.
A datavein is that low-key but critical stream of info you keep pulling from—dashboards, logs, group chats, scrolls, or that one coworker—because it never stops delivering what you need.
