Word origin
The term 'hyperanalysis' originated in the late 20th century as a result of the increasing focus on data analysis and information overload. With the advent of technology and the vast amount of data available, the need for hyperanalysis became more prevalent. It is often associated with perfectionism and the desire to have all the answers before making a decision.
