Bundled analytics vs warehouse-native trade-offs
WHAT IT TESTS: Judgment on analytics stacks. OUTLINE: Warehouse-native gives one source of truth and SQL flexibility but shifts modeling, performance, and UX onto your team; bundled tools are turnkey but siloed. RED FLAG: Framing it as cost alone.
WHAT IT TESTS: Whether you weigh build versus buy across ownership, capability, and maintenance, not just price. ANSWER OUTLINE: Warehouse-native means a single source of truth, full ownership and governance, unlimited SQL flexibility, and joins to all business data, but you take on modeling, query performance and cost tuning, and rebuilding analytics conveniences like funnels and retention. Bundled tools are turnkey with purpose-built UX but create silos and limited extensibility. RED FLAG: Reducing the decision to license cost alone.
