i just stumbled onto a great breakdown abt why our dashboards always seem to be "delayed" during updates. it turns out the actual visualization is the easy part, while the real heavy lifting happens in the
pre-reporting phase where everything has to be verified for accuracy. most people dont realize that ensuring data integrity is
way more time-consuming than just building a few charts in tableau.
>the work happens before anyone even sees a single metric.it makes me wonder if we are all underestimating how muchh effort goes into preventing bad decisions based on broken pipelines
or if we just need better automated testing frameworks . does anyone else feel like they spend 90% of their time validating and only 10% actually analyzing?
