A messy data model
If adding a new measure feels like defusing a bomb, the model is the problem, not you.
- One huge flat table instead of facts and dimensions
- Relationships that fight each other, ambiguous paths, inactive links nobody remembers
- Measures scattered over tables, with names like "Measure 2 final v3"
- No documentation, so only one person can change anything
- Assess Review tables, relationships, keys and measures against star-schema practice.
- Redesign Propose a target model and a safe migration order.
- Rebuild Implement the new model and repoint reports without changing the numbers.
- Document Model documentation and naming standards the team can keep using.
