> Toss the results in a report the contributors can access with links to supporting dashboards, then watch your data platform costs drop, contributor productivity increase, and customer retention get longer. So the answer is to use a dashboard.

In the same vein, the term "single pain of glass" has always rubbed me the wrong way.

It's just a fancy way to say, don't use other dashboards, use ours.

His ad-tech DSP example is horrible. In reality, advertisers care about (in order of importance)

- Target audience reach (measured in millions of people)

- Cost of engagement (CPA, CPM, etc)

- Engagement metrics for verification (clicks, views, etc; so you can send bills to your clients and not worry about claims and lawyers)

The junk he listed is probably the least interesting information to an advertiser. All of it is technical details that affect your margins as an intermediary, something your clients couldn't care less about.
