A partner agency shares a dashboard the city wants to republish, but it arrives with no metric definitions or freshness notes. What standard should analysts enforce?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Republishing a dashboard with no definitions is like handing out medicine bottles with the labels peeled off—people will still take action on it. Require definitions and freshness with the product before it wears the city's logo. Analytic products need packaging, not just pretty charts.
Full Explanation
Analytic products inherit trust obligations when republished under a civic brand. Definitions, freshness, and related metadata are part of the product standard, not optional footnotes. Withholding republication until packaging is complete protects the public and the city's information integrity.
