DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Give a client a clear progress view without overstating what a metric proves.

For work involving authorized client measures, agreed KPI definitions, and proposed performance summaries, check the facts and permissions before taking the next step. Prepare a dated KPI summary and exception notes for a consultant or client owner to validate. Client metrics can be incomplete, sensitive, or defined differently across engagements. Verify source periods and calculations, restrict client data, distinguish observations from recommendations, and require a responsible consultant to approve reports and follow-up actions.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

authorized client measures, agreed KPI definitions, and proposed performance summaries, an authorized source, and a named owner

“Prepare authorized client measures, agreed KPI definitions, and proposed performance summaries for informed review without treating an unverified draft, estimate, or match as final.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Prepare a dated KPI summary and exception notes for a consultant or client owner to validate.

  1. Confirm authority, purpose, and field scope

    Use only records the requester may access and include fields needed for the stated purpose.

  2. Validate identities, dates, and calculations

    Check identifiers, units, source versions, and totals against original records.

  3. Flag gaps and conflicts

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

  4. Limit exposure in results

    Include only necessary details and restrict the result to its approved audience.

  5. Approve updates and distribution

    Have the data owner review every live change, export, conclusion, and external share.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A review-ready brief about authorized client measures, agreed KPI definitions, and proposed performance summaries, with source checks, uncertainty, and approval status.

The handoff

A review-ready brief about authorized client measures, agreed KPI definitions, and proposed performance summaries, with source checks, uncertainty, and approval status.

Keep in mind

Client metrics can be incomplete, sensitive, or defined differently across engagements. Verify source periods and calculations, restrict client data, distinguish observations from recommendations, and require a responsible consultant to approve reports and follow-up actions.

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 duplicates, edge cases, date boundaries, mappings, and representative samples.

Keep sensitive details out of broad reports

Restrict access and include only information each approved recipient needs.

Require owner approval for live changes

Keep production updates, merges, exports, and consequential conclusions approval-gated.

Keep exploring

Review inventory record updates

Keep stock records aligned without propagating a mistaken quantity across systems. Check the evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.

Review organizational data maturity reports

Use a maturity snapshot to guide discussion, not to label a team or prove compliance. Verify the source, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.

Review data-pipeline risk findings

Bring data-quality risks to the right reviewer without turning a score into a diagnosis. Verify the source, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.
