DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Make a practical first pass at approved business data definitions, new field names, and proposed record structure updates while leaving judgment with people.

For an authorized purpose, prepare a field-change specification for an authorized data owner to validate. A field can encode personal or sensitive information, break existing reports, or expand access unexpectedly. Document purpose and permitted values, check downstream use and permissions, protect source records, test a non-production sample, and require an administrator to approve each live schema or data change. Use only necessary information, explain retention, respect consent and source rights, verify material details, and keep external or consequential actions under accountable human approval.

  2. Validate matches and calculations

    Check identifiers, mappings, units, dates, duplicates, and totals against original records.

  3. Flag gaps and conflicts

    Do not turn missing, stale, estimated, or inconsistent values into verified facts.

    Have the data owner review each live update, export, conclusion, and external share.

Something to build on.

Keep in mind

A field can encode personal or sensitive information, break existing reports, or expand access unexpectedly. Document purpose and permitted values, check downstream use and permissions, protect source records, test a non-production sample, and require an administrator to approve each live schema or data change.

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, 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.
