In most organizations I have interacted with getting data with known sampling is always a problem. “The temperature sensor sends a measurement every 5 minutes.” Except, I learned after a lot of debugging, when the air-conditioner gets maintained and the readings become a fixed value.

It’s not the organizations fault. Discovering and maintaining a known sampling for the data is part of the process. I consider it a win when I can get a team to accept that the data process will need to be debugged just like code.
