AI-Ready Data: The Context Gap Diagnostic for Data Teams | Timextender
For data engineers, architects, and BI leads running the pipeline
Most AI projects don't fail because the model is wrong. They fail because a metric like 'revenue' means something different in three systems, and nobody approved which one is right. That's not a data-quality problem a validation rule catches. It's a context gap: what a field means, what point in time it reflects, what logic produced it, and who owns the definition when it changes. Marel closed that gap and stood up over 200 critical data quality checks in a short timeframe, catching issues before they reach a model. The guide's 10-question diagnostic shows exactly where your own environment breaks first.
