According to a Gartner study, bad data cost an enterprise between $9.7 to $14.2 million every year. This translates to a potential reduction in revenue by 30% and an overall estimated cost of more than $3 trillion dollars to the US economy.

Whether you are bootstrapping or have investment, bad data can increase your burn rate by making it difficult to make the best data driven decision.
