DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Explain website metric changes without claiming a chart proves what caused them.

For work involving dated aggregate traffic and engagement measures with a proposed executive summary, confirm permission and check the facts before taking the next step. Prepare a weekly analytics summary for a site owner or analyst to verify. Metrics can be sampled, delayed, or affected by tracking changes, while small segments may reveal visitor behavior. Confirm definitions, filters, dates, and calculations, prefer aggregate data, protect account access and recipients, and require an analyst to approve interpretations before changing a site or campaign.

The handoff

A review-ready brief about dated aggregate traffic and engagement measures with a proposed executive summary, with source checks, uncertainty, and approval status.

Keep in mind

Metrics can be sampled, delayed, or affected by tracking changes, while small segments may reveal visitor behavior. Confirm definitions, filters, dates, and calculations, prefer aggregate data, protect account access and recipients, and require an analyst to approve interpretations before changing a site or campaign.

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 samples, duplicates, edge cases, date boundaries, and conflicting values.

Keep sensitive details out of broad reports

Use least-privilege access and include only what each approved recipient needs.

Require owner approval for live changes

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

Keep exploring

Review structured-data imports

Catch malformed data before import without silently changing a source record. Check evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.
