# CS-33: Data-quality investigation dashboard

Category: Work & enterprise tools
Level: Advanced
Suggested duration: 4–6 weeks

Original UXCharan practice scenario. Validate assumptions; do not present it as a commissioned client project.

## Problem
A hypothetical dashboard shows many failed checks without helping an analyst distinguish an isolated issue from a downstream symptom. Explore triage, evidence and ownership using a small synthetic dataset.

## People to learn from
Analysts investigating a fictional data pipeline

## Core scope
- Triage alerts
- inspect evidence
- assign investigation

## Research questions
- What evidence is needed before escalation?
- Which alerts can be grouped?

## Edge cases
- Stale run
- repeated alert
- missing owner

## Specific artefact
A prioritisation model and drill-down dashboard

## Evaluation question
Can analysts justify which issue to investigate first?

## Work to share
Problem and role; anonymised evidence; alternatives and rationale; task flow; prototype; accessibility considerations; testing findings; revisions and honest limitations.
