What is the Fix the Weekly Data Sync Breakdown course about?

Every week, the same integration breaks, between source systems and downstream risk reporting. The logs are inconsistent, the dependencies are undocumented, and the fix takes longer each time. You're spending hours reprocessing data, answering stakeholder questions, and delaying higher-value work. This isn't a one-off glitch, it's a systemic reliability gap that erodes trust and slows delivery.

If nothing changes
Without a systematic fix, the weekly sync breakdown will continue to consume engineering time, erode stakeholder trust, and increase the likelihood of downstream reporting errors in risk models.
