Data driven is almost a synonym for 'the scientific method', which can hardly be described as a tool.

I don't really want to quibble over definitions, but most would define the Scientific Method as a series of methods, subject to change and continuous improvement, a complex interplay of various processes. Tools, for me at least, are applied to the Scientific Method. The tool is well defined, whereas the Scientific Method is an abstract concept within which tools are used.
