Most analytics problems start as spreadsheet problems: too many versions, no agreed‑upon definitions, and manual copy‑paste.
Centralize your source of truth
Pick a single warehouse or database—Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift—and land raw data there on a schedule.
Model business concepts explicitly
Use tools like dbt to define customers, subscriptions, and revenue once, then reuse them across every dashboard.
The result: fewer arguments about whose numbers are right, and more conversations about what to do next.
