Mergers and acquisitions don't always go smoothly. Cap Puckhaber breaks down the Callaway-Topgolf acquisition saga and the lessons for investors.

We fixed it by building six Person entities once and referencing them everywhere instead of redeclaring them on every page. Watch how connected schema turns scattered structured data into one verified entity graph that AI systems can actually trust.
