DataLineage

Tracing where a piece of data originated and every transformation it went through.

Why we need this / what value this brings

When a number in a report looks wrong, lineage is what lets you trace it back to its source instead of guessing.

When to use this

Once data flows through more than one transformation stage (raw → warehouse → dashboard).

How to use or implement this

Not yet relevant without a real data pipeline; revisit alongside DataManagement/DataEng once one exists.

Research questions

  • Mostly relevant once there's an Analytics/DataWarehouse-BI pipeline moving data through multiple stages.
