Data Quality Metric Explanations

preparation quality metrics

CluedIn calculates data quality metrics based off all data that is ingested into the platform. There are many times where you will want a verbose explanation on why a certain data quality score was given. For example, imagine if your had what you think is golden records, but CluedIn gave it very low quality scores - you would want to know exactly why.

The first option is to visualize this explanation within the user interface by clicking on the “Explain” button when you see a data quality score widget.

The second example would be to get this data from our GraphQL endpoint.

Here is an example that will fetch a detailed explanation of the “Accuracy” metric for Global and Entity Level dimensions.
