Data quality consists of five characteristics: correctness, completeness,
dependability, relevance, and timeliness. For example, if the data is gathered from
disparate sources at disparate periods, it may not be a reliable indication for
planning and decision-making. A stringent set of rules is used to gather and
evaluate high-quality data, ensuring consistency and accuracy. Better decision-
making results from improved data quality across an organization. The greater the
amount of high-quality data you have, the more confident you may be in your
selections. Good data reduces risk and can lead to continuous improvements in
outcomes.
