Working checklist

Use each item as a discussion prompt. Record evidence, owners, assumptions, and unanswered questions rather than treating this as a pass/fail score.

  1. 1Name the operational decision and required frequency
  2. 2Identify the system of record for each critical data element
  3. 3Compare definitions across teams and systems
  4. 4Measure delay, completeness, accuracy, and reconciliation effort
  5. 5Map manual inputs, spreadsheets, handoffs, and overrides
  6. 6Document exceptions and who resolves them
  7. 7Identify integration, access, retention, and ownership constraints
  8. 8Choose one decision where improved data can be tested and measured
