DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Review authorized analytics questions, permitted datasets, proposed queries, and result summaries with the source, context, and next decision in view.

For authorized work involving authorized analytics questions, permitted datasets, proposed queries, and result summaries, prepare a traceable answer from approved read-only business data for an analyst to verify. A generated query can expose restricted rows or misinterpret a field, and a plausible result may be wrong. Enforce least-privilege read-only access, check query scope and calculations, avoid personal-data disclosures, retain query provenance, and require human approval before sharing conclusions or changing data. Explain information use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.

Keep in mind

A generated query can expose restricted rows or misinterpret a field, and a plausible result may be wrong. Enforce least-privilege read-only access, check query scope and calculations, avoid personal-data disclosures, retain query provenance, and require human approval before sharing conclusions or changing data.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define permitted inputs and retention

Document purpose, fields, source, destination, access, and deletion timing.

Test matching and calculation rules

Check representative records, duplicates, edge cases, time periods, and exceptions.

Keep sensitive details out of broad reports

Restrict exports and include only information each approved recipient needs.

Require owner approval for live changes

Keep production updates, merges, and consequential conclusions behind human review.

Keep exploring

Review monthly KPI reports

Review monthly source data, KPI definitions, draft narrative, and proposed PDF recipients with the source, context, and next decision in view. Verify the source, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.
