## Problem

Three transforms write to three differently-shaped destinations: a time-partitioned daily_orders fact, a current-state dim_customer table, and an operational daily_customer_summary an internal app reads sub-millisecond. All three currently use plain Snowflake INSERT INTO. Apply the section's quick decision rule per destination so each lands on the pattern that fits its access shape.
