Argues that prioritizing business value shortens time to insight by prototyping on a lake before heavy modeling, showing examples: land raw clickstream in lake and run ad hoc queries from production data with prototype with PySpark notebooks. Uses metadata-driven cleansing and automated validation to avoid deploying staging tables and to cut developer lead time; cites storage in Azure lakes as roughly one-fifth the cost of databases. Productionize only after value is proven, or skip expensive modeling if ROI is negative.
