Workflow Example: Data Quality Pre-Check
Use this workflow before board meetings, investor updates, or major internal reviews to ensure your numbers are reliable.
Use Case
You need retention or revenue metrics for a high-stakes presentation and want to avoid embarrassing data errors.
Prerequisites
- A “master” customer or revenue sheet you plan to analyze.
- Jetti sidebar open.
Steps
- Open the master sheet
- Navigate to the Google Sheet you’ll use for your analysis.
- Run a Data Quality Scan (1–2 minutes)
- In the Jetti sidebar, choose Data Quality.
- Select the active sheet.
- Click Scan.
- Jetti computes:
- Overall quality score
- Missing values
- Duplicates
- Formatting issues
- Outliers
- Review the report (2–3 minutes)
- Check the overall score (e.g., 87/100).
- Focus on:
- High-severity issues (e.g., bad dates, broken IDs)
- Medium-severity issues (e.g., duplicates)
- Decide what must be fixed vs. what can be documented as known limitations.
- Fix critical issues (up to 5–10 minutes)
- Correct duplicate IDs or clearly wrong values.
- Fill or remove missing key fields (e.g., signup dates).
- Note expected gaps (like sparse activity in early months).
- Re-scan to confirm
- Run the Data Quality Scan again.
- Confirm that the most critical issues are gone and the score improved.
- Run your main analyses
- With higher confidence in your data, run:
- Cohort Analysis for retention.
- Snowball Analysis for revenue movement.
- Use results directly in your deck.
- With higher confidence in your data, run:
