The project in view

Start with
plans and documented substrate notes.
Proposed result
a separately stated preparation allowance.
A decision to resolve
unverified substrate condition.

This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.

Data quality checks for this project

  • Check plans and documented substrate notes for completeness, conflicting versions and consistent references.
  • Add a separate validation rule for unverified substrate condition.
  • Keep unresolved records separate from a separately stated preparation allowance; record the reason rather than silently filling a gap.

Questions to answer together

  • Which fields, references or measurements must be present?
  • How are duplicates, contradictions and missing values reported?
  • Which corrections require confirmation from the source owner?

What to have at the end

A validation checklist with examples of valid, rejected and unresolved records.

Record the decision on unverified substrate condition alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
