DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Make authorized PDF tables, extracted cells, source page references, and calculated totals easier to review before information is shared or changed.

For an authorized purpose, prepare a source-linked table for an analyst to reconcile with the original report. Scanned tables can misread signs, decimal places, units, or column alignment, and reports may be confidential. Confirm rights and recipient authority, protect the original file, compare every material value with its page image, recalculate totals independently, and require the data owner to approve any conclusion or distribution. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
