Source consolidation
We audit every data source and standardize definitions, so every department starts from the same numbers.
- Data audit and clean-up
- Shared definitions for every metric
- One source of truth across the company
Data Management
Errors, duplicates and inconsistencies are identified before they reach a report, by rules that run on every refresh. What reaches you has already been checked.
Who this is for
Nobody buys data quality out of curiosity. It gets bought after a wrong number has cost something.
Not because you enjoy it, but because once you didn’t. That time is a cost, and the distrust behind it is more expensive still.
Whoever signs off a report needs to know not only what the number is, but how confident they can be in it. Today there is no way to find out.
The same errors get corrected by hand, month after month, by the same people. Nobody has had time to ask why they keep coming back.
You have one reporting base. The next question, inevitably, is how correct the data that went into it actually is.
What you’re losing now
Not the error itself. What you do to avoid it, and what you avoid doing because you cannot rule it out.
Somebody recalculates alongside the report, just to be sure. It is duplicate work that appears in no budget and in no plan.
The same account spelled three ways becomes three accounts. Every analysis built on it starts wrong, and the result still looks plausible.
When it turns up in next month’s report, the decision has already been made. The correction arrives too late to matter.
What you get
Six deliverables. The last one is what holds: without monitoring, quality degrades back within months.
What data types you hold, which values occur, how complete the fields are, where the patterns break. No assumptions — we read what is there.
Completeness, uniqueness, validity, cross-system consistency and timeliness. Each rule has a threshold agreed with you, not a default.
A score per source and per dimension, recalculated on every run. This is how you know whether you can sign the number off — beforehand.
Duplicates are matched and merged, formats brought to one convention, missing values given an explicit rule rather than a guess.
Cleaning fixes the symptom. The plan says what has to change in the process that produces the data, so the same error does not return next month.
The rules run on every refresh. When a source starts to degrade you find out then, not at the next audit.
How we work
Nothing gets cleaned before we know how bad it is and exactly where.
Duration:
You tell us which number cost you something last time and which source it came from. That is where the list of sources to audit starts.
Duration:
Profiling across sources, defining the rules and thresholds, then cleaning and standardizing. You end this step with the scorecard and the remediation plan.
Duration: Ongoing
The rules stay active and run on every refresh. Thresholds are adjusted as the data changes.
Exact timing depends on how many sources you have and how clean they are — we agree these with you upfront.
Evidence
The figure is checked by hand before every presentation, and errors are found after they have already gone into a decision.
The rules run on every refresh. What fails them never reaches a report, and the quality score is visible beforehand, not after.
The comparison describes what changes in how you work, not the measured outcome of any particular project.
What stops you
From the same stage
Consolidation brings the data together, quality makes it trustworthy, GDPR defines what you are allowed to do with it.
We audit every data source and standardize definitions, so every department starts from the same numbers.
Ensure your data handling meets GDPR requirements without manual effort or external auditors.
