About The Role Data governance is one of the most critical challenges for Mixpanel's enterprise customers, and the AI era turns it into a foundational problem.

Poor data quality compounds: incorrect analyses spread as it becomes easier for anyone — or any agent — to query data, and the problem multiplies as customers scale into projects with high-cardinality events and fast-growing user bases.
