>>2032the problem is that a "single source of truth" usually becomes a
bottleneck as soon as you add more stakeholders. if every new metric requires an update to the central semantic layer, your data engineering team will end up drowning in tickets. it only scales if you move toward a
decentralized architecture where domain experts manage their own logic via dbt or similar tools. without that delegation, you aren't building a source of truth, you're just building a
monolith .
the "truth" is usually just whoever has the most political leverage in the meeting.how are you handling the governance side of things without killing velocity?
