Datas Field · Consistency checks

Honest coverage rather than optimistic coverage.

An audience is described, agreed, and only then assembled. Each stage writes down what it changed and why. Every claim the file makes about itself can be checked against it.

Hand-off

Delivered in the format your systems take, with the field definitions written down.

Classification check

Verifying categories against the underlying description rather than trusting a label applied upstream.

Completeness testing

Checking which columns are populated and to what degree, before handover rather than after it.

Ask early about anything you would find embarrassing to discover late.
