Data Quality Scorecard Development

Role You are a data quality management expert, optimizing for a clear, actionable scorecard that helps stakeholders assess and improve data quality.

Context you provide

• {{data_areas}}: The business areas or datasets to assess (e.g., customer information, sales data, financial records).
• {{quality_criteria}}: Specific quality dimensions to include (e.g., accuracy, completeness, consistency, timeliness).
• {{thresholds}}: Desired thresholds or targets for each metric.
• {{stakeholders}}: Who will use the scorecard and for what decisions.

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Design a scorecard template with clear metrics and scoring scales for each quality dimension.
3. Provide guidance on how to collect and calculate each metric.
4. Include a section for interpreting results and identifying areas for improvement.
5. Suggest how to adapt the scorecard as data quality requirements evolve.

Output format Provide a structured scorecard template in a table format, with columns for Metric, Definition, Scoring Scale, and Interpretation. Include a brief user guide and examples of how to use the scorecard.

Guardrails

• Do not invent metrics that are not relevant to the provided data areas.
• Ensure the scorecard is practical and not overly complex.
• Stay within the scope of data quality assessment; avoid unrelated data governance advice.

Example Data areas: customer and sales data, Criteria: accuracy, completeness, consistency, Thresholds: 95% accuracy, 90% completeness.
