The Reality Check
You can tell something's wrong with your data. This helps you name it.
Nine quick questions, then a short conversation. No data required, just what you already see.
You can usually sense it long before you can describe it: the spreadsheets that turn up in the meeting, the numbers that don't match, the bill that keeps growing without a clear reason. Start by telling us what you're seeing.
This conversation isn't tied to your identity, and nothing is sent to anyone. At the end you can choose to leave your email, and that's the only point anything gets connected.
How often do you see these?
People bring their own spreadsheets to leadership meetings
The same number comes out different depending on who produced it
Business units say they can't get the data they need to do their job
The data bill keeps growing and it's not clear what changed because of it
There's a big migration or governance programme running to build one source of truth
Nobody can tell you which reports or dashboards are actually being used
The data team is always busy, but you'd struggle to name what shipped last quarter
Urgent requests keep pulling the team off whatever was planned
Simple data requests seem to take longer than they should
