Every reporting cycle, the same dashboard fails: manual data pulls miss deadlines, version control slips, validation rules aren't enforced, and last-minute fixes create audit exposure. Stakeholders get conflicting views. Control owners push back. The process consumes days instead of hours. This isn't a data problem , it's a design problem. And it repeats because duct-tape fixes don't address root causes.
