Data foundations
Connect and prepare available business information with attention to structure, quality and repeatable reporting workflows.
The problem to work through
Make the route from source to report easier to follow.
Reporting becomes difficult to maintain when information is held in separate files, definitions vary or preparation depends on steps that are hard to repeat. Foundation work looks at how information is currently produced and prepared, then identifies a practical structure for the agreed use.
A practical starting point
Bring what you have.
Shape what is useful.
01 / Inputs
What helps to bring
- Representative source files, extracts or descriptions of the information in use.
- Field and measure definitions, including known quality issues or exceptions.
- The current reporting steps, handoffs and refresh expectations.
02 / Possible outputs
What the work may leave you with
- A clearer account of source information, key fields and working definitions.
- Prepared or connected data for the reporting or analysis purpose agreed together.
- Documented preparation steps or a repeatable reporting workflow where appropriate.
The specific work is shaped around the agreed question, source information and constraints.
