Conflicting revenue numbers across marketing, sales, and finance quickly erode executive trust. The issue usually isn’t dashboards or attribution models — it’s inconsistent definitions, competing data sources, and unclear ownership. Fixing reporting clarity requires governance, not just better visualization.

The Decision-First Reporting Model flips the sequence — identifying executive decisions first, mapping them to signals, and assigning ownership to eliminate debate.
