DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Make a weekly snapshot useful without turning incomplete metrics into a verdict on the business.

For a team with an authorized purpose, prepare a dated report of selected business measures and open questions for an accountable owner. Metrics may be delayed, inconsistently defined, or misleading when missing values and context are hidden. Reconcile calculations and periods against primary records, label estimates, avoid unsupported causal claims, protect confidential figures, and require the business owner to approve conclusions and recipients. 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.

    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.

Keep in mind

Metrics may be delayed, inconsistently defined, or misleading when missing values and context are hidden. Reconcile calculations and periods against primary records, label estimates, avoid unsupported causal claims, protect confidential figures, and require the business owner to approve conclusions and recipients.

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, exports, and consequential conclusions behind human review.
