The standing prompt

Review this week's data quality log from the payment, CRM and warehouse join for [WEEK_ENDING_DATE]. List every row flagged for missing values, mismatched customer IDs, or schema changes. For each one, say whether it looks like a one-off exception or a new pattern worth fixing at the source. Flag anything that would change revenue or pipeline totals if left uncorrected. Keep the summary under [MAX_WORDS] words.

Fivetran pricing on their siteThis is the piece that actually needs a scheduled connection to two separate sources plus a warehouse. It syncs the payment platform and CRM into the warehouse automatically, which is what replaces the manual CSV exports.

What it will not do

It will not decide which flagged anomalies matter enough to mention in the board deck. It will not know that the CRM rep territory field changed meaning last quarter. It will not backfill historical data from before the sync started, and it will not catch errors that exist inside the source systems themselves rather than in the join.

Done when

On Monday morning, the joined table and quality log are already sitting in the warehouse before you open your laptop, and the log lists real anomalies you would otherwise have found by hand.
