That's definitely the ideal world, but in our experience everyone says they want dashboards and live data but everything ends up in presentations anyways. Fundamentally, it's the current format for standing in front of someone and making an argument. Maybe it's because the execs with buying power just like slides, but at anything bigger than a startup, decisions and alignment are done off a deck and not a dashboard.

An old boss once said "any data tool that lives long enough becomes a BI tool," and our hypothesis is that one reason there are so many BI tools floating around without market dominance is because all of them stop one step short of the final destination, which is (regrettably?) a presentation.
