Data Governance & Quality

A clear report is only useful if the information behind it is dependable.

Two reports disagree. A customer appears twice. A field is missing its source. Before a number becomes a decision, understand where it came from, how it was checked and who is allowed to use it.

Start with a real business question and the information your business already captures.

Start with your business questions

What would you like to understand?

  • Which records can we trust?
  • Where did this number come from?
  • Are missing or duplicate records changing the picture?
  • Who should be able to access this information?
  • What happens when a source stops updating?

From the question to the evidence

Make trust something you can check.

Agree quality rules, definitions and access around the question. Preserve the original records, keep their source history visible and distinguish submitted information, verified facts and inferences. Failed checks remain visible so someone can review and resolve them.

Quality & validation

Check completeness, consistency, duplicates and agreed business rules.

Source history

Track where a record came from and how it was prepared for analysis.

Permissions

Agree access and protect sensitive information around the business purpose.

Shared definitions

Document what a measure means and what a source must provide.

Visible exceptions

Keep failed checks and interrupted collection available for review.

Begin with the evidence

What information would we need?

Start with the records behind the question. Agree what each measure means and connect it with how your business works.

  • Source descriptions and ownership
  • Agreed measure definitions and quality rules
  • Access permissions and privacy requirements
  • Original records and their collection history
