Solutions · Data and reporting
Catch bad data before your board does
A library of checks that data is up to date, complete, correctly structured, free of duplicates and valid, improved across several organisations. We build them into your pipelines, so a failed load is stopped before it reaches a meeting.
Use cases
Is this you?
Everyone agrees that data should be checked, but few organisations have the checks, because writing them from scratch never becomes a priority.
A wrong figure reached leadership
A report went out with a figure that was clearly wrong, and nobody noticed until a senior reader questioned it.
Loads that fail silently
A source delivered only half its usual data, and every report that depended on it quietly changed.
The right person is told last
When something breaks, the person who can fix it is the last to hear about it.
Standards that are not enforced
Data standards exist on paper, but nothing in the pipelines actually applies them.
What it delivers
Checks grouped by the problem they catch
This makes it easy to put the right checks in the right places.
- Timeliness: the data arrived when expected
- Volume: the number of rows is within the normal range
- Structure: unchanged, or changed deliberately
- Uniqueness: no duplicates
- Validity: values are within allowed ranges and formats
- Failures sent to named owners

What we do around it
Placed carefully, and set up to take action
Checks are easy to add and easy to ignore. Our service is placing them well and making sure they take action.
- Placement
- We put checks where an error would otherwise spread furthest, rather than scattering them everywhere.
- Thresholds
- We tune the checks against your normal patterns, so alerts are rare enough to be taken seriously.
- Enforcement
- Critical checks stop dependent reports from refreshing, rather than only issuing a warning.
- Ownership
- Each check has a named owner, who is told when it fails.
- Review
- We review patterns of failures with you, and fix the underlying causes at the source.
