The project in view

Start with
finish plans and plank dimensions.
Proposed result
a measured area and plank allowance schedule.
A decision to resolve
lay direction and pack rounding.

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

Data quality checks for this project

  • Check finish plans and plank dimensions for completeness, conflicting versions and consistent references.
  • Add a separate validation rule for lay direction and pack rounding.
  • Keep unresolved records separate from a measured area and plank allowance schedule; 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 lay direction and pack rounding alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
