Find the tables blocking your first use case

Take one question your company asks often, list the tables it needs, and rate each one.

Know what to fix first and what can wait

Scope the work to the few tables your first question needs instead of the whole warehouse.

Why this topic matters

Every exec asks "is our data ready for AI?" and most teams answer with a feeling. The answer sets your timeline.

Knowing your level tells you whether you're weeks or quarters away, and what you can promise.
