Indeed. I can't share much but I was in the early days when Google Search and Alphabet as a whole started counting users (Search only counted queries and sessions/cookies before) and then growth. It was a big effort, especially counting across all Google products, spearheaded by an L10 (yes, 10).

…Which becomes a trivial problem if it turns out P=NP, but that would be a whole ‘nother can of worms to deal with.

Mostly a data definition problem. Define the DAU definition and how it is counted. Can even use a few metrics with different definitions to tailor to the different stake holders definitions. DAU is too general. Nothing new that crypto struggles with this: the DAU and DA Wallets definitions get mixed up all the time

Harder imo — no right answer, only tradeoffs and different stakeholders prefer different tradeoffs, but use the same words
