misanalyze

Draw wrong conclusions

To misanalyze is to analyze something incorrectly—drawing wrong conclusions from data, misreading a situation, or applying flawed reasoning: The report misanalyzed the market trends, leading to poor investment decisions.

The word implies the analysis happened but went wrong, not that it was absent.
