Data You Can Actually Use

Why the report is wrong, and what to do about it. Covers the unglamorous work that decides whether anything downstream - dashboards, automation, AI - can be trusted.

What participants can do afterwards

  • Diagnose why two reports of the same thing disagree
  • Clean and structure a real dataset your team depends on
  • Set up a source of truth people will actually use
  • Recognise when a spreadsheet has outgrown itself
