It is already actively used by millions of users worldwide, but we are not going to stop: we are scaling to new regions and adding new features. The product has found its product/market fit, is rapidly growing its audience and revenue.
Rapid growth inevitably leads to inefficiencies in the work of the analytics team. We don't always answer well questions about what is happening with the product, because when all metrics are growing from all sides, the team doesn't understand what to grasp or may miss something small that negatively affects the product in the long run. If you've had experience working in a fast-growing product, you're well aware of this phenomenon.

Provide comprehensive support during internal and external audits and ensure all investigative activities adhere to relevant regulatory requirements and internal policies.
Develop and implement training programs aimed at educating staff on how to identify and escalate suspicious activities.
