14. Data Quality Score

An automatic completeness score that shows how well each asset is documented.

11.1 Why It Matters

A catalog with undocumented assets provides little value. The Data Quality Score gives every asset a 0–100 score based on metadata completeness, making it easy to prioritize documentation efforts and surface assets that need attention. The Admin dashboard shows the overall tenant quality score — the average across all assets in your workspace.

11.2 Score Calculation

Field Points Condition
Description 2525 Present and >10 characters
Owner name 2020 Not empty
Domain 1515 Not empty
Column documentation
(TABLE / VIEW only)
1515 Proportional to % of columns with descriptions
Steward name 1010 Not empty
Category 1010 Not empty
Tags 55 At least one tag
Column score For tables and views, the 15-point column score is proportional: if 6 of 10 active columns have descriptions, the column score is 9 points (60% × 15). For other asset types, all 15 points are awarded automatically.
