Bits, Bytes, Bhutani Epi 1 - Null Games

Starting this fun lil’ series: Bits, Bytes & Bhutani !

A weekly dose of data, drama & dry humor from my 12 year ride in analytics and a bit in governance.

Doesn’t matter if it’s Monday blues or Thursday chaos — the goal is simple:
Give you a smile and a learning :)

Bits, Bytes & Bhutani — Episode 1

Someone recently asked me:
“What’s the most underrated risk in enterprise data?”

Without blinking, I said: Null values.

Why?

Because they’re just like office gossip —
• You don’t know who started it
• You don’t know where it spread
• And by the time it surfaces, the damage is already done

The scary part?
Nulls hide in plain sight.

Until someone builds a dashboard, runs a report, or makes a million-dollar decision based on them.

Data governance isn’t about locking things down — it’s about shining a flashlight on the blind spots.

So next time you see a NULL, don’t ignore it. That missing info might just be the reason your numbers don’t add up.
