Objective

Today’s mission is to bring everything from the past six days into one clear, strategic summary.
You’ve surfaced, assessed, cleaned, standardised, and verified your data - now it’s time to step back and connect the dots.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a concise Data Integrity Report, your evidence of progress and the foundation for your next stage of AI readiness.

Why This Matters

Activity only becomes impact when it’s captured, shared, and acted upon.
Without reflection, the improvements you’ve made risk slipping back into daily operations.
This final step transforms your sprint from a checklist into a narrative of change - showing what improved, what remains inconsistent, and where your next wins lie.
This isn’t admin; it’s accountability.

The Exercise

Step 1 - Review Your Workbook (10–15 mins)

Open your Interactive Workbook and review everything you’ve captured over the past six days.
Look over your dataset inventory, health checks, standardisation notes, ownership mapping, and review cycles.
Your goal here is recognition - not editing. Notice patterns, improvements, gaps, and surprises.

Step 2 - Complete the Day 7 Reflection (10 mins)

In the Day 7: Present Findings section of your workbook, answer the following:

• 🌟 Top three improvements you made this week
• ⚠️ Biggest issues or gaps still present
• 🔒 Which sources now feel trustworthy
• 🧹 Where your data still needs work
• 👥 What you learned about your team’s data habits
• 🤔 What surprised you most during the sprint
• 📌 Where responsibility now sits after ownership mapping
• 📊 Your confidence level if reporting were automated tomorrow

Step 3 - Complete Your DIS Mini-Score (5 mins)

Score each category from 1–5 based on your findings this week:
1 = Very poor / unreliable
3 = Acceptable but inconsistent
5 = Strong, reliable, well-maintained

• 🧩 Data Integrity Score
• 📏 Standardisation Score
• 👤 Ownership Score
• 🔁 Review Process Score

Your average score gives you a quick snapshot of your overall data integrity level.

Step 4 - Build Your Action Plan (10 mins)

Use the Action Plan section of your workbook to outline your next 30–60 days.
Keep each task practical, achievable, and clearly assigned.

• 🤖 Automate duplicate detection
• 📅 Schedule quarterly data reviews
• 🗂 Consolidate systems or migrate legacy files
• 📘 Create or refine a central “Single Source of Truth”
• 🏷 Standardise naming and formatting rules
• 👥 Confirm ongoing ownership
• 🧹 Clean up outdated or orphaned files

For each item, define:

• The action
  
• Who owns it
  
• When it should happen
