Strategy

Bigger pieces, in progress. Planned topics:

The Data Maturity Curve

Five levels, click through each one — why most teams sit lower than they'd guess.

The gross margin data platform

100bn+ rows in 4 hours, twelve-nines accuracy, the three-layer lakehouse.

Why not full data mesh

The lakehouse architecture, contrasted honestly.

Lakebase vs. lakehouse

From the existing deck, reworked as a written piece.

Why not send financial data to a public LLM

The case for keeping conversational analytics self-hosted.

Enabling SQL users on Databricks

A practitioner how-to.

Data engineers vs. analytics engineers vs. analysts

Role distinctions and how a data function is actually structured.
