Every organization says it wants self-service analytics, but very few have it. What actually stalls true self-service analytics is the invisible work that has to happen before anyone can ask a data question: the semantic layer, query engine, security model, and analytics app. That work lands on your product and data teams, who are already time-strapped to deliver core features and strategy, and it lands on them again every time a new question, a new tenant, or a new dashboard request arrives.
