Lesson 3: Enabling Self-Service Without Losing Control
…so business users can explore — without breaking your logic or flooding your inbox.
Key Takeaways
- Why most self-service tools fail (spoiler: it’s not the users — it’s the lack of guardrails)
- How logic drift happens when dashboards get duplicated and metrics redefined
- What a safe, scalable self-service setup actually looks like
- How to expose only the right data — with full control
- How to use tools like OWOX BI or AI Assistants to let people explore the system you built
💬 “Business users don’t need your SQL — they need the results of your logic, protected and safe to explore.”

Lesson 4: Keeping Your System Clean and Trusted

Learn how to maintain trust in your reporting system over time, track what’s being used, and stop supporting dashboards no one reads.
🧹 Regular clean-up = confidence.
