Usually when you are doing something quick and dirty you at least have an internal understanding of how you are transforming the data and what calculations you are doing. Even if no one else in the company agrees with your method they can at least understand what you did to arrive at the figure and other people can verify your queries/calculations. I'm envisioning the worse case where this is a blackbox that spits out a dataset with no transparency and limited explainability as to how it constructed the query. Maybe it will be better than that but I'm concerned about the implications if it is not.
