1:00:47

Imagine a world where business users simply fire up their analytics AI tool, ask for some insights, and get a clear and accurate response in return. That’s the dream, isn’t it?

Go one level deeper with a metric like customer acquisition cost (CAC) or customer lifetime value (CLV or LTV, depending on how you acronym), and things can get messy in a hurry. In some cases,…

Visualize many data sets, and some of the data points are obvious outliers, but just as many (or more) fall in a gray area—especially if they're sneaky…
