Don't get fooled

5 mistakes operators make when choosing

Mistake #1 — Reading 4+ dashboards

Reconciliation burns CEO time.

Fix: One source.

Mistake #2 — BI as exec dashboard

Charts ≠ exec narrative.

Fix: Demand exec-ready KPIs.

Mistake #3 — Per-seat at 6-person team

$70 × 6 = $5K/yr.

Fix: Per-account.

Mistake #4 — No source-first

Untraceable kills trust.

Fix: Demand trace-back.

Mistake #5 — Sales-only as exec

Clari misses finance.

Fix: Span all.
