just finished reading some interesting stuff in
dispatches from o'reilly about how we handle data. the author argues that a single source of truth is actually the best way to handle
operational risk instead of just focusing on high-level compliance. it turns out having a solid
semantic layer prevents those small, daily errors from eating your budget
and ruining your reporting accuracy .
>it's not about abstract frameworks but practical day-to-day stability.does anyone else feel like their
content governance falls apart the second the data source becomes fragmented?
