Why is business data still so hard to act on in 2025?

We've all been there — drowning in dashboards, buried in Notion docs, pinged in Slack threads, and still… no clarity. As someone who's spent years working in ops and product, I'm constantly surprised at how hard it is to get a clean, real-time picture of what's actually going on in the business.

Why do we still need 4 tools and 5 people to answer simple questions like “What’s driving churn?” or “Are we hitting our sales targets?”

Curious how others are thinking about this. If you're an operator, PM, or founder — how are you solving this internally? Have you found workarounds or is it still duct tape + gut feeling?
