Data quality

The further away from the source the data is, the lower the quality will be.

A line graph showing quality decreasing as distance increases, with the line changing from green to yellow to red.

Each handoff has a cost. Context is lost. Dependencies need to be managed.

Even within a single team, each data transform has the potential to reduce quality. Time is spent. Debt is accrued.

The shorter the distance, the higher the quality.
