A Data Quality (DQ) Baseline Report acts as the “health check” of your data before any remediation begins. In the Orion Enterprise Information Intelligence Graph (EIIG) platform, this isn’t a static document but a dynamic dashboard that uses AI/ML to profile your entire landscape in real time.
Here is what a comprehensive DQ baseline report looks like, structured by the standard DAMA dimensions and Orion-specific features:
1. Executive Summary (The Health Score)
A high-level “RAG” (Red-Amber-Green) status that gives executives an immediate view of data trustworthiness.
- Global Quality Score: An aggregated percentage representing the overall health of the platform.
- Critical Alerts: High-priority “out-of-policy” activities or critical failures in key business assets.
2. DAMA Dimension Breakdown
The report scores each data asset across the core pillars of data quality:
| Dimension | Core Question Asked | Example Metric |
|---|---|---|
| Completeness | Is all the necessary data present? | Percentage of null or missing values in critical fields. |
| Accuracy | Does the data reflect the real-world scenario? | Pass rate against a known correct reference source. |
| Consistency | Does data match across different systems? | Reconciliation deltas across different systems. |
| Validity | Does the data conform to defined formats? | Rule pass rate for patterns like emails, IDs, or dates. |
| Timeliness | Is the data available when it is needed? | Average latency or SLA compliance for data arrival. |
| Uniqueness | Are there any duplicate records? | Duplicate rate by primary key or unique identifier. |
3. Orion-Specific Visual Intelligence
Because Orion EIIG uses a knowledge graph, the report provides deeper context than a typical spreadsheet:
- Trust Propagation: A visual lineage graph showing how a “low quality” score at the source (e.g., raw ingestion) ripples downstream to impact your Databricks notebooks or executive dashboards.
- Root Cause Analysis: Near real-time identification of where a quality issue started—whether it’s a broken script or a source system error.
- Trend Analysis: A line chart showing the quality score trend over the last 50 runs to see if data health is improving or deteriorating month-over-month.
4. Actionable Remediation Plan
The report ends with a prioritized “to-do” list:
- Top 5 At-Risk Assets: The assets with the lowest scores that have the highest business impact.
- Orphan Assets List: Data with poor quality that has no assigned owner, requiring immediate stewardship.
