Has outdated information led to a costly business decision?

Wait 5 sec.

I’m exploring a software idea and would appreciate a reality check from business owners. It’s an early prototype, not a service I’m selling. The problem: a decision still looks valid after the information supporting it has changed. Hypothetical example: a supplier loses a required certificate, but another system still lists it as approved. Someone places an order relying on that old approval. Has something like this happened in your business, and what was the impact? If your existing tools already handle it well, that’s useful to hear too. Please keep examples non-confidential.   submitted by   /u/denby10562 [link]   [comments]
