An AI model only reflects the data it is given. Duplicates, empty fields or inconsistent formats translate directly into unreliable results.
Assessing your data maturity
Start by listing your sources, their owners and how often they are updated. Then measure a few simple indicators: completeness, duplicates, consistency across systems.
Setting up lightweight governance
- Appoint an owner for each major data domain.
- Define shared data entry rules.
- Automate quality checks.
These often modest actions improve both your AI projects and the day-to-day management of the company.
