Annotated from Forbes:
When [multiple tools are] spitting out different numbers it can be hard to know which numbers to rely on. Often differences can come down to when, where and how the data is collected. The terms “single version of truth” and “single source of truth” are often used interchangeably in analytics and business intelligence conversations.
Single source of truth: A data storage principle to always source a particular piece of information from one place, to enable a single version of truth where there is one view of data that everyone in a company agrees is the real, trusted number.
