Data readiness

Review the data before implementation

Clarify sources, ownership, sensitivity, quality, access and evaluation needs before connecting data to a system.

Prepare the conversation

Topics to discuss

The decision or task is clearly defined

The team can describe what the data needs to help a person or system do.

Source systems are known

The origin of relevant records, files, APIs or documents is identified.

Data ownership is known

Someone can approve access, definitions, retention and corrections.

Sensitivity is classified

Personal, confidential, regulated or secret fields are identified before external processing.

Representative quality has been inspected

Missing values, duplicates, stale records and inconsistent formats are understood.

Access boundaries are defined

Users and services have an explicit reason and permission to access the data they need.

Ground truth or review criteria exist

There is a way to judge whether extraction, classification, retrieval or generation is useful.

Retention/removal expectations are known

The implementation knows what should be kept, for how long, and what should be removed.

Important transformations are traceable

It is possible to understand where derived data came from and what changed it.

A non-AI/manual path exists where needed

Critical workflows can continue or escalate when data or model output is unavailable.

Evaluation cases reflect real usage

Tests include common, difficult and edge-case examples instead of only ideal samples.

Monitoring and correction ownership is known

Someone is responsible for data drift, source changes and recurring quality issues after launch.
