About This Pain Pattern
This query belongs to the Data-Rich / Insight-Poor Trap pain category — Synthesis deficit — millions invested in software, but the CEO is still guessing. Systems record the 'what' but nobody synthesizes the 'so what.'
The Bleeding Symptom: Five dashboards open, none telling the truth. MES says 90% efficiency but revenue is flat. CRM shows growth but churn is silent.
