DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Review authorized database fields, proposed read-only questions, and draft product summaries with the source, context, and next decision in view.

For authorized work involving authorized database fields, proposed read-only questions, and draft product summaries, prepare a scoped product update from approved read-only data for a product owner to verify. A query or summary may expose private records, misread a live schema, or imply more than the data supports. Limit access to approved datasets, use read-only scope, minimize personal fields, verify calculations and recipients, and require an owner to approve each report before email delivery. 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.

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.
