Conduct systematic audits of project and client records across systems, assessing completeness, accuracy, and consistency.
Lead remediation of legacy data, resolving duplicates, gaps, outdated entries, and inconsistent classification.
Establish recurring checks, reports, and dashboards that keep data health visible and prevent regression.
