Learn the four jobs lineage now has to do, the six ways it quietly fails at them, and a diagnostic you can run against your own estate this week.

  • Six ways lineage quietly fails, from coverage boundaries to a missing time axis
  • Why table-level lineage leaves the last mile to a person with a SQL client
