Why it matters
In data, the problem is almost never the tool. It is that two areas mean different things by customer and neither wants to give ground. You can install the most modern platform on the market and still have three sales figures in the same meeting.
My criterion is that data only helps if it arrives in time for the decision it is meant to support. A perfect report that lands on the eighth for a decision taken on the third is a useless report, however correct it is. Timeliness beats precision more often than people admit.
What usually goes wrong
Where it usually breaks is capture. A lot gets invested in processing and nothing at the point where a person fills in the form, in a hurry, with no validation and no idea what it is for. No model fixes data that was born wrong; it only propagates it with more authority.
What to watch
- When the number arrives relative to when the decision is taken, which is what defines its usefulness.
- Who answers for the quality of the indicator when somebody challenges it in a committee.
- Which concrete decision changes because of this and who makes it: without that, it is one more dashboard.
How I read this entry
I would use it to review the full cycle, from where the data is captured to where somebody acts. The problem is almost never in the analytics but at the start: someone filling a field by hand, with no validation, in a hurry, not knowing what it is used for later.
