Rapid Battle Cards 31–38

31. Row-Level Reference Change vs Structural Reference Change

  • Row-level: change specific code/description/status rows.
  • Structural: change schema, granularity, hierarchy, relationships, mappings.
  • Deciding clue: value maintenance vs meaning/structure change with broader downstream impact.

32. Data Sharing Agreement vs Technical Interface Specification

  • Agreement: conditions, rights, responsibilities, obligations for sharing.
  • Interface spec: structure, protocol, mapping, endpoint, format details.
  • Memory: permission/promises vs pipes/payloads.

33. SLA vs Data Quality Rule

  • SLA: service availability/timeliness expectation.
  • DQ rule: test whether data content meets quality expectation.
  • Deciding clue: late correct data vs on-time invalid data.

34. Steward Coverage Metric vs Ingestion/Consumption Metric

  • Steward coverage: who is accountable and where gaps exist.
  • Ingestion/consumption: who contributes/subscribes and how much data moves.

35. Change Activity Metric vs DQ Metric

  • Change activity: rate/type/source/lineage of changes.
  • DQ: fitness/confidence/compliance of values.

36. TCO vs Sharing Volume/Usage

  • TCO: economic cost of program/solution.
  • Sharing/usage: adoption and throughput of shared data.

37. Central RDM Repository vs Actual RDM Adoption

  • Repository exists: authoritative place is available.
  • Adoption: people/systems actually consume the governed values.
  • Trap: storage without consumption does not create semantic consistency.

38. Tool Implementation vs MDM Program

  • Tool implementation: technology capability installed/configured.
  • MDM program: people/process/governance/stewardship/DQ/architecture/integration/technology deliver trusted data.
  • Memory: a tool can match; a program makes the result trustworthy.
