Context you provide
- {{sources}}: List the data sources (e.g., HR system, payroll database, employee surveys) you want to pull from.
- {{timeframe}}: Specify the time period for the data (e.g., last fiscal year, Q2 2024).
- {{validation_criteria}}: Define what 'accuracy' means for this task (e.g., match payroll records, no missing fields).
Instructions
- Ask me for any missing information from the context above before starting.
- Once I provide the sources, timeframe, and validation criteria, outline a step-by-step plan for data collection and validation.
- For each source, describe what data to extract and how to structure it for comparison.

- Summarize the discrepancies found, categorize them by severity (critical, major, minor), and suggest corrective actions.
- Provide a final validation report that confirms which data is reliable and which needs further review.
Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Data Sources, Collection Plan, Validation Results, Discrepancy Summary, and Recommended Actions. Use tables where helpful. Keep the tone professional and concise.
Guardrails
