SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

validate-data helps you prevent incorrect, misleading, or unsupported analysis from being shared by systematically checking methodology, calculations, bias risks, and presentation quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Methodology and assumption review: Checks question framing, data selection, population definition, metric definitions, and fair baseline/comparison setup.
  • Pre-delivery QA checklist: Verifies data quality (freshness, completeness, null handling, deduplication, filter correctness) and calculation integrity (aggregation grain, denominator correctness, date alignment, join correctness, metric alignment, subtotals).
  • Pitfall detection and validation: Flags common analytical traps like join explosion, survivorship bias, denominator shifting, average-of-averages, timezone mismatches, and selection bias; assesses visualizations and conclusion support.
  • Actionable fixes and confidence output: Produces specific improvements and a structured confidence assessment on a 3-level scale (ready to share, share with caveats, or needs revision).

Quick Start

Run /validate-data on the analysis you plan to present, and use the resulting validation report to decide whether it is ready to share or needs corrections.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate data quality before stakeholder reporting?

Data validation for stakeholder reporting involves reviewing methodology, data quality, calculation logic, and potential bias to catch issues before sharing. It produces a structured validation report with severity levels, readiness assessment, and actionable improvements.

How do I review SQL queries for calculation logic errors?

Reviewing SQL queries for calculation logic errors involves verifying aggregation grain, denominator correctness, date alignment, and join correctness to prevent analytical traps like join explosion or denominator shifting. This ensures metric alignment and accurate subtotals in your analysis.

What is statistical bias checking in analysis QA?

Statistical bias checking in analysis QA is the process of flagging common analytical traps like survivorship bias, selection bias, average-of-averages, and timezone mismatches. It assesses visualizations and conclusion support to ensure your analysis is correct and interpretable.

Can I use automated validation for stakeholder-ready charts and narratives?

Yes, automated validation applies to stakeholder-ready charts, narrative explanations, SQL queries, and reports. It systematically checks methodology, data quality, calculation integrity, and presentation quality to produce a structured readiness assessment.

What's the best way to catch analytical pitfalls before sharing an analysis?

The best way to catch analytical pitfalls before sharing an analysis is applying a pre-delivery QA checklist that flags join explosion, survivorship bias, denominator shifting, and average-of-averages. This ensures visualization accuracy and conclusion support with specific improvement recommendations.
