# Data quality watchdog

Pipelines and key tables are watched around the clock for missing loads, schema drift, sudden distribution shifts and duplicate explosions. When something breaks, the owner gets a diagnosis — before the bad numbers reach a dashboard or a decision.

## What it solves

01

### Silently broken data

Failures surface within minutes, not after the board meeting.

02

### Eroding trust in dashboards

Issues are caught and labeled before anyone sees wrong numbers.

03

### Slow root-cause hunts

Alerts arrive with a diagnosis, not just a red light.

## How it works

1. 01

    ### Watch

    Pipelines, loads and key tables are profiled continuously.

2. 02

    ### Detect

    Missing data, schema drift, distribution shifts and duplicates trigger checks.

3. 03

    ### Diagnose

    The agent traces the issue to its source and drafts the explanation.

4. 04

    ### Alert

    The owner gets the diagnosis and affected dashboards are flagged.

## Before & after

### Without it

- Broken pipelines discovered by dashboard users
- Wrong numbers make it into decisions
- Root cause takes a day of digging
- Trust in data erodes with every incident

### With it

- Failures caught minutes after they happen
- Affected reports flagged before anyone reads them
- Alerts come with a diagnosis and the likely source
- Dashboards people can trust again
