    Ground Truth EP 16: Before Anyone Asks

    Our once-a-month episode where we talk about what Entrecore is building. Over the last five episodes, the judgment that should have governed a number kept getting lost: in one person's head, behind a vendor setting, in a dropped row, inside a spreadsheet cell, in a calculation nobody was watching. Maya and Theo take each of those problems in turn and explain how coreOS is built to handle it, with governance by design and zero trust as the starting assumption. Plus what a Big Four consulting firm said about why change inside a company does not stick. Brought to you by Entrecore.

    Ground Truth EP 15: Nothing Wrong On The Report

    For three weeks in 2022, Equifax sent lenders credit scores that were calculated wrong, from a legacy platform the company was already planning to retire. The credit reports themselves were never changed. Anyone who pulled their report that week would have found nothing wrong on it. Maya and Theo walk through the case end to end, and use it to separate two things the industry keeps treating as one: governing the definition, and governing the data a decision actually runs on.

    Ground Truth EP 14: Inside The Limits

    In 2012 a formula in a JPMorgan spreadsheet subtracted one rate from another and then divided by the sum of the two instead of the average. It roughly halved the reported risk, so a dangerous position looked like it was sitting inside its limits. The Chief Investment Office lost about 6.2 billion dollars. Maya and Theo use that to take apart the story playing out across business right now: data governance that is absent, misunderstood, and never actually implemented. Brought to you by Entrecore.

    Ground Truth EP 13: It Never Throws An Error

    In autumn 2020, 15,841 positive COVID tests vanished from England's contact tracing system because a spreadsheet hit its row limit and dropped everything past it without a warning. The dashboard looked complete. This show has spent twelve episodes on numbers that disagree. This week Maya and Theo take the question underneath that: why nobody catches it. Two failures that stayed invisible for days and for years, what finally exposed each one, and why nothing being built or funded right now would have caught either. Brought to you by Entrecore.

    Ground Truth EP 12: They Can't Guarantee It

    OpenAI wrote this about its own products: while unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage helped improve our models. On September 11 the four hosts of All-In spent a good part of an hour and a half on exactly that, on whether you can trace what an AI produced, and on what it costs a company when you cannot. Maya and Theo work through the setting most companies are relying on, the live provenance fight nobody can settle, and the legal exposure almost nobody has priced. Plus the week's two numbers: 78% and 6%. Brought to you by Entrecore.

    Ground Truth EP 11: A Thousand Definitions For One Metric

    The VP of Data at Shopify, running a 400-person team, went on a podcast this year and said semantic layer decisions have been her greatest failure as a leader, and that her company still has a thousand definitions for one core metric. Atlan's own co-founder says she feels terrible for anyone buying data technology right now. Maya and Theo put those confessions next to what the market is shipping as the cure, including 690,000 auto-written definitions rated 87% as good as a human, and ask what problem speed was ever going to solve.

    Ground Truth EP 09: Six Kinds of Software, One Name

    A vendor published a page this year admitting that searching for the name of its own product category returns six different kinds of software, and that the industry's converging vocabulary is confusing buyers. This week Maya and Theo trace three nouns that got crowded in a year, layer, engine, and trust, then set that against what the people running the stack actually said: one in four are shipping dashboards no living human is responsible for. Ends with a fifteen minute exercise on a document you already own. Brought to you by Entrecore.

    Ground Truth EP 10: They Bought A Store. The Problem Was A Process.

    The most expensive version of the bet this whole category made: about eight billion dollars for a catalog, to give an AI agent product a governed data foundation. That product reached roughly a billion in recurring revenue, and a partner survey then found not a single respondent naming it as a driver of recent bookings. This month's open-the-hood episode sorts every vendor from September into four piles, walks the five gaps that money does not close, and says plainly where Entrecore sits and where it does not.
