In the GovTech & RegTech sector, this problem manifests differently than in other industries, requiring specialized expertise and industry-specific solutions.
Business Impact
Spent $120K on marketing campaign to wrong customer segment because didn't have LTV data. Built features no one uses - wasted 4 engineer-months. Can't provide investors with SaaS metrics they expect. Churn rate higher than it should be but don't understand root causes. Making decision in dark costing tens of thousands monthly.

Product and engineering teams guessing about priorities instead of using data. Disagreements about what to build because no objective metrics. Marketing team can't optimize spend without attribution. Everyone frustrated by lack of visibility into what's actually working.

Embarrassed in investor meetings when asked for cohort retention or CAC payback period. Making million-dollar bets on gut feel instead of data. Anxiety about whether company trajectory is good or bad - literally don't know. Imposter syndrome about not having data-driven culture.
