A storage migration can preserve throughput while changing the history teams believe they are looking at.
Deadline pressure favors commitment, while analytical equivalence demands evidence that is costly to obtain.
Who you’d be doing this for
“If the history changes after migration, every trend conversation turns into an argument about the data.”

What is at stake
Replay tests hit the throughput goals, but the automated summaries disagree on a few identity-merge and late-event cases. You have to judge whether that evidence justifies a cutover you cannot cheaply undo.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- capacity deadline vs. analytical equivalence
- high aggregate agreement vs. consequential edge cases
- external assurance vs. internal operational learning
- cutover commitment vs. expensive reversibility
- security review vs. validation speed
