One Version Of The Truth, For Words
Rob's transfer of a hard-won BI discipline onto unstructured text.
How it works
- 1The old failure mode: everyone shows up to the meeting with their own spreadsheet and a different answer to a factual question.

- 3Requires a collaborative, federated model where domain experts own their corners.
- 4Requires that everyone knows where the source of truth lives.
