What is the Fixing the Monthly Infrastructure course about?

Every cycle, the obsolescence forecast requires manual overrides, inconsistent data inputs, and stakeholder re-alignment. The model degrades between runs, forcing rework. Stakeholders lose trust when numbers shift unexpectedly. The team spends more time justifying outputs than improving them. This erodes influence and increases scrutiny on analytics decisions.
