A migration can look ready in pieces while remaining unproven as a whole.
A fixed commitment raises the cost of delay, while incomplete end-to-end evidence raises the cost of proceeding.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I can tolerate a hard weekend, but I can’t explain Monday’s numbers being wrong.”
Emilie Lindberg · Director of Data Operations
Owns continuity of executive and operational reporting during a business-critical platform migration.
What is at stake
The final rehearsal found three cases where every component check passed but dashboards came back stale or duplicated after recovery. You weigh a delay against a cutover that could break data.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- fixed retirement date vs. complete end-to-end proof
- component readiness vs. workflow continuity
- production speed vs. mandatory review
- legacy fallback vs. unified operations
