When you want to start measuring or analyzing something, quite often you have no idea what kinds of results to expect. Often, you take whatever comes out of your SQL (or BI report) as truth. "OK, so our performance did grow 20000% last month..." (OK, maybe not that extreme). But how can you be sure? There are so many things that could've gone wrong - the quality of data, incorrect assumptions, error in a query... Even such trivial as missing up asc and desc. Be cautious!

If you can’t agree on what you’re measuring and how to calculate it, it doesn’t matter what data, BI tools or experts you have.
Asc, desc, whatever

Sometimes you write the most sophisticated query and celebrate the results. Only to find out that you forgot something as trivial as a sort order...

If the numbers look too good, check the SQL.
This was a good quarter, right?

Don't always trust what you see on the reports. Even if data is correct, there can always be a bug in a query. Do all your analysts understand the schema of the databases they are querying?

Do you trust the numbers you get on the reports? Data may be incorrect and there are many pitfalls in querying data.
