The Problem

Fragmented Data and Poor Integration

Competitor Landscape

  • Segment/Twilio
  • RudderStack
  • Fivetran/Airbyte
  • Hightouch/Census
  • Metaplane/Monte Carlo (observability)
  • dbt semantic layer

Must-Have Features for MVP

Data contracts with CI gate checks
Real-time CDC/event ingestion with schema mediation
Customer 360 API and embeddable context widget
Reverse-ETL for ops systems (CS, CRM, billing)
Data quality SLAs, drift detection, and auto-healing
Row-level access controls across tenants

⚠️ Potential Challenges

  • Winning security reviews for multi-tenant data
  • Aligning internal teams on data contracts
  • Handling high-cardinality tenant data at scale
  • Change management to adopt embedded 360 in workflows

Risk Level: Minimal

🎯 Keys to Success

  • First-week reduction in support handle time and re-opens
  • Faster cross-sell due to surfaced entitlements/usage
  • Near-zero stale data incidents in GTM and billing
  • Low-engineering lift vs building pipelines in-house
