Analytics teams only make dashboards when they're in extreme distress! It's easy, but buying an analyst from Deloitte or McKinsey contributes to the problem when you could staff your team by waving pizza slices around your local university stats department. #AdoptDontShop

Ah, yes, the Three Laws of Hypergrowth Startup Dynamics: 1) All systems that existed before you were unscaleable, unmaintainable nightmares 2) Any replacement system you proposed and worked hard on was extremely challenging, saved the business, and merits your promotion

3) Any system proposed by people starting after you misunderstands the complexity of the domain and the constraints you were operating under These laws are fundamental laws of the startup universe. They are always and everywhere true.
