Our dashboard showed the wrong revenue for 3 weeks and nobody noticed — has this happened to your startup?
Has your startup ever made a wrong decision because your data was silently broken? I'm researching this problem.
I'm talking about things like:
- A dashboard showing wrong revenue because of a broken sync
- Duplicate leads flooding your CRM without anyone noticing
- A KPI that quietly changed definition after a schema update
- A report that was wrong for weeks before someone caught it manually
I'm not selling anything. I'm in the early research phase of building a tool that automatically monitors startup dashboards and data pipelines, catches these silent errors, and explains what went wrong in plain English — before leadership acts on bad numbers.
If this has happened to you — even once — I'd love to hear the story. What broke? How did you find out? What did it cost you in time or bad decisions?
