Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• We’re drowning in dashboards and reports and I still can’t tell whether we’re actually healthy until the lagging results land too late to fix
• I only ever notice the result once it’s already bad
• I only ever watch the final number
• I only watch what I’m shipping
• I keep staring at the big result hoping it moves, but it’s out of my hands day to day
