DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Keep authorized product categories, item assignments, and proposed catalog changes accurate, proportionate, and accountable to a person.

For an authorized purpose, prepare a field-by-field category migration plan for a catalog owner to verify. A mapping error can misclassify products or alter what customers see. Confirm catalog authority and field scope, test representative items and exceptions, preserve source values and a rollback path, and require an owner to approve every live catalog update. 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.

Keep in mind

A mapping error can misclassify products or alter what customers see. Confirm catalog authority and field scope, test representative items and exceptions, preserve source values and a rollback path, and require an owner to approve every live catalog update.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

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.
