Data Quality
Data Quality

A data error becomes expensive once a decision has already been built on it

Data quality is not one abstract percentage. The useful question is which errors can change a payment, coverage estimate, report or management conclusion.

When this becomes a problem

Data Quality

A field is filled but the value is wrong

Completeness alone does not make data usable. Dates, codes, documents and addresses can be populated and still fail the business rule.

Duplicates change the total

The same person, organisation or event appears in several records and distorts coverage or value.

Problems are discovered in the final report

Quality control sits at the end of the process. It needs to move closer to data capture and exchange.

What we work on

What the work covers

I do not start with a catalogue of one hundred checks. We first identify the fields and scenarios where an error changes money, access, identity or reporting.

  • Profile data and identify anomalies and unexpected distributions.
  • Check completeness, validity, uniqueness, consistency and timeliness.
  • Translate business requirements into data quality rules for critical fields and documents.
  • Find duplicates, conflicts and identity matching problems across systems.
  • Build quality dashboards and a practical issue resolution process.
