Data quality gates at intake

Bad data does not become less expensive further down the line. Sixteen checks sit at the first station of every line, covering completeness, validity, duplication, referential integrity, timeliness and consistency. A unit that fails is blocked outright or held in a quarantine queue with a named owner — never quietly waved through with a flag nobody reads.

What the gates test for

Six dimensions. A check that has never fired is shown as never having fired, not as evidence of a clean estate.

What happens on failure

The action is stated on the gate, not decided later.

Block4 gates

The unit never enters the line.

Quarantine8 gates

Held at intake for a named owner to clear.

Warn4 gates

Enters the line carrying a flag that travels with it.

Gates that have never fired

Reported as a zero, not as a pass.

1 of 16 gates have run without a single failure. That is either a genuinely clean condition or a check that is not reaching the data it was written for. It is listed here so somebody has to decide which.

Actions

What is waiting on a person

Quarantine is a holding pen, not a decision. Every item below is work that stopped and is waiting for somebody to say what happens to it.

Judge a quarantined item

Held by a rule. Nobody has looked at it yet.

Fix the source behind a rejection

Rejected items keep arriving until the upstream cause changes.

Finish a review already open

Picked up, not concluded.

Promote a monitoring rule to active

The rule watches and reports but does not hold anything.

Operations

What this desk is allowed to start

A surface that only reports is not operable. This is the work this page can set in motion, and the bound it runs into.

Trigger and bound

This desk can start a rule run across a named batch, and it can move an item into quarantine. It cannot release an item, reject one, or change a threshold — releasing bad data is the whole risk this layer exists to manage, so it stays with a person.

Is policy and strategy coming to fruition

Whether the written intent is holding here

14 of 16 rules are enforcing. 95 items are held and undecided.

Not holding on the record

The written intent is that no unchecked record reaches a downstream figure. 14 rules enforce that today and 2 only watch. The queue is the real test: 67 items are held with nobody assigned and 28 are open with somebody assigned, against 47 released and 29 rejected historically. A held item is not a failure of the rule — it is the rule working — but a held item nobody judges is a figure quietly missing its input.

What this page is, and what it is not

The gates, the expressions, the thresholds and the quarantine queue are real mechanisms. They run at the first station of every line and they hold work that fails. What they run against is the modeled feed described on the connector registry — connect a customer instance and the same gates run unchanged against real intake.

2 of the 16 gates are set to monitor rather than enforce. They are counted in the check totals but they stop nothing. That is a deliberate state for a gate whose false-positive rate has not yet been characterized, and it is shown rather than hidden behind an overall pass rate.

62 items have been held for more than seventy-two hours, the oldest for 9.1 days. A quarantine queue that ages without clearing is a queue that people have learned to route around, so the age is shown on every row and never averaged away.
