Rapid Discrimination Cards 21–40
- Check vs Act — monitor against requirements vs respond/correct when monitoring reveals need.
- DQ Team vs Business Process Owner — DQ facilitates/coordinates; process owner is responsible for quality produced by the process.
- Data Owner vs Data Steward — Owner is accountable; Steward carries delegated operational/quality actions.

- Scorecard vs Trend — current/aggregated status vs change over time.
- Profiling Tool vs Rules Engine — pattern/statistical discovery vs automated evaluation of approved rules.
- Parsing vs Standardization — decompose/recognize components vs transform them to target representation.
- Standardization vs Enrichment — normalize existing values vs add new context/data.
- Enrichment vs Accuracy — more context can help, but added data does not automatically make values correct.
- Fully Automated vs Manually-Directed Correction — no human review vs automation plus confidence-based human review.
- Manually-Directed vs Manual Correction — tool proposes/executes with review vs human performs correction through controlled interface.
- Manual Correction vs Direct Production Patch — controlled/audited human correction vs risky direct DB change bypassing controls.
- Top-Down vs Bottom-Up Implementation — sponsorship/consistency/resources vs actual-data discovery/incremental wins.
- Readiness vs Improvement Planning — can we launch/scale? vs what specific changes will we make?
- Business Rule vs DQ Rule — operational/data expectation vs dimension-aligned testable DQ requirement.
- DQ Metadata vs Raw Data Value — information about quality/rules/results/context vs business value itself.
- Integration Control Point vs Final Cleanup — inspect between stages to isolate corruption vs wait until end to repair.
- Control Limit vs Acceptance Threshold — statistical process-variation boundary vs business quality requirement cutoff.
