Not every data field requires identical precision or refresh speed. Capacity data used for an immediate production decision may need near-real-time validation, while an attribute supporting a longer-term scenario can tolerate a slower update cadence. By connecting quality requirements to the specific decisions that depend on them, you concentrate governance where errors truly matter.

This approach also gives data owners a clearer basis for resolving competing priorities and for explaining why particular improvements deserve investment now. Rather than treating all data the same, you focus remediation effort on the fields and systems that would materially change your response when they're wrong.

Argon & Co helps you evaluate data quality in the decision context that counts. Contact us to align your governance effort with the choices your supply chain actually needs to make.
