Clean Enough Data for AI

Data does not need to be perfect for AI to help, but it needs to be consistent enough to support the decision being automated.

Audience

Teams worried their data is too messy to start.

Workflow

Data readiness

Diagnosis

Important fields are missing, duplicated, or entered inconsistently.
The team cannot produce five normal cases and five edge cases.
The automation would need to infer too much from unclear records.

Practical Move

Collect real examples, label what good output looks like, and decide which missing fields must be fixed before a pilot.
