Episode notes
Guard Data Access With Caching And Curation
- Cache queried data to avoid repeated expensive warehouse hits and control cost.
- Limit AI access to curated core tables to bound cost and improve accuracy.
Use Shared Smart Books For Collaboration
- Collaborate in a shared, real-time environment so analysts and stakeholders can iterate together.
- Send a reproducible "smart book" rather than ad hoc spreadsheets for clarity and review.
Push Insights To Where People Work
- Dashboards often go unused or get exported to spreadsheets, limiting impact.
- Pushing insights into Slack, email, and workflows drives far more ROI than static dashboards.
