What is the Fix the Monthly Analytics Rollup That course about?

Every month, the same thing: data sources shift, manual overrides pile up, and the final rollup requires last-minute fixes. Stakeholders get delayed insights, your team burns hours on rework, and trust in analytics erodes. This isn't failure, it's friction from systems in transition. The fix isn't more automation. It's a repeatable method to isolate failure points, stabilize inputs, and deliver clean outputs.
