An analyst claims that running profiling tools equals having a data-quality program. What distinction should leadership make?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Owning a metal detector is not the same as running airport security. Profiling finds patterns; a DQ program also measures, tracks issues, finds causes, prevents defects, and links to governance. Discovery tools alone are not the program.
Full Explanation
Profiling discovers patterns, anomalies, and candidate rules; it does not by itself manage issues, prioritize remediation, prevent recurrence, or connect to governance. A data-quality program integrates measurement, issue workflows, root-cause analysis, improvement actions, and policy linkage. Equating a tool run with a program leaves those management loops missing. Leadership should fund the operating system, not only discovery software.
