Fifty First Dates with Data Vault

Bringing Data Vault to a new company can be a daunting task. Its proof of concept work is likely going to be built by you, and no one else. There is a lot to learn and I'd like to walk folks through what feels like my fifty first dates with Data Vault. There were some failures (not fifty!) between now and when I started, and I'd like to help folks avoid those mistakes by walking through my journey with the methodology.
