Data Discovery is a Nightmare

Thousands of tables with cryptic names. 12 "master" spreadsheets that all disagree. No documentation. You guess, query, fail, repeat until something works.

You're the Human FAQ

Constant Slack pings: "Where's the customer table?" "Which spreadsheet is current?" You're interrupted 10 times a day answering the same questions. When you're busy, everyone's stuck.

Query Cost Surprises

You write a query, it scans 10TB, and now everyone's asking questions. No way to know costs before running.

The CSV Export Dance

Export to CSV, open in Excel just to check the data, fix something, re-upload. Repeat 5 times a day. You don't know where data comes from or what depends on it.

Your Time Spent Poorly

3+ hrs
Finding the right table
2 hrs
Understanding schema
5 hrs
Manual documentation
4 hrs
Troubleshooting queries
10+
Slack interruptions per day
3x
Duplicate work across teams

That's 20+ hours per month on tasks that add no value to your analysis.

"I have a PhD in statistics, but I spend 60% of my time answering Slack questions about which Excel file is current. I export to CSV just to validate data, then re-upload. I didn't sign up for this."
