Validations are rules applied to your datasets that measure specific metrics and flag anomalies. For example:
  • Count total transactions in the payments table every day
  • Track the percentage of duplicate entries in the customer_email column
Validations can be created manually, suggested automatically when a dataset is discovered, or generated by the Data Validation agent.
