Quality score

The quality score summarizes the overall state of data quality for a table by assigning a letter grade (A–E) based on the underlying quality ratio. These scores help quickly identify where data meets expectations and where improvements are needed.


What Is the quality score?

The score is a classification (A to E) derived from the quality ratio — the percentage of valid rows for all rules applied to a table.

It provides a standardized, visual assessment that is:

  • Easy to communicate

  • Useful for comparison across tables

  • Ideal for dashboards, alerts, and reporting


Configurable score thresholds

Different tables may require different standards. You can customize the thresholds for A–E grades per table.

To adjust thresholds:

  1. Go to the relevant table screen

  2. Click on the “More” menu

  3. Select “Quality score”

Tailor expectations based on table criticality


Example

Table A: Fraud Detection Transactions
Tighter thresholds (e.g., A = >99.9%) because any issue matters

Table B: CRM Contact Records
More tolerant thresholds (e.g., A = >95%) where some missing data (e.g. phone numbers) is acceptable


Default thresholds

Unless changed, the platform uses:

Grade

Default Quality Ratio

A

> 99% valid entries

B

> 95%

C

> 90%

D

> 85%

E

≤ 85%

These defaults can be overridden per table via the settings.
