ANALYTICS GOVERNANCE
Make KPI reliability a control, not a hope
A reusable validation layer for analytics data covering schema, missingness, duplicates, business rules, referential integrity, reconciliation, and explicit PASS/REVIEW/FAIL states.
Problem
A polished dashboard can still be wrong when its underlying data contains structural defects. This framework converts common analytical failure modes into repeatable pre-publication controls.
Workflow
Decision context → Profile → Validate → Reconcile → PASS / REVIEW / FAIL → KPI reliability.
Controls
- Schema validation.
- Missingness and duplicate detection.
- Range and business-rule checks.
- Referential-integrity checks.
- Source-to-report reconciliation.
- Check-level classification.
Why it matters
Analytics errors often enter through definitions, joins, missing records, duplicated facts, impossible values, or broken metric identities before they appear as obvious visual defects. Quality checks make those risks visible before publication.
Portfolio role
This is supporting evidence for an analyst who treats data quality as part of analytical work rather than a separate afterthought.
