Okay, we’ll stop being cryptic. 👀 We pressed a limited-edition Signals & Stories vinyl to celebrate 10 years of The Vertex Project. 💿 There aren’t many and they’re coming to LABScon in your welcome bags. 🙌 See you in Scottsdale. 💚

This was honestly my favorite episode of our podcast series. I'm privileged to work with an amazingly talented (and humble) group of rock stars. The incredible partnership between the Vertex developers and analysts is rare - and is what makes the #Synapse magic happen. 💚

Trustworthy intelligence requires accuracy, precision, transparency, and the context needed to make decisions. In our latest episode of Signals & Stories, we explore what makes intelligence worth trusting and why methodology matters as much as conclusions. Listen here: vertex.link/10-year-anni...

I am continually shocked at the number of vendors who don't know what "structured data" means. Many APIs are bad enough but how can you not get a simple one-off spreadsheet or CSV file right?
