Data Integrity in Plain English: The Chain You’re Actually Managing

This entry is part 2 of 6 in the series Data Farm

Data integrity isn’t philosophical. It’s not a vibe. It’s whether you can reproduce the same number tomorrow without reenacting a crime scene investigation. In the real world, the question shows up like this: “Why does the KPI say 92% here and 87% there?” KPI means Key Performance Indicator, but on bad days it stands for Keep People Investigating. You’ll get a practical checklist you can run immediately, plus a clear next step to reduce rework and rebuild trust.

Includes a practical road map and a 2-week starter plan to surface where your numbers are getting distorted.
