Spot-Checking Raw Data
Spot-checking is the verification practice of directly recalculating the single most important number in a recommendation using raw, primary source data rather than relying on secondary reports. While fluent summaries generated by dashboards, colleagues, or AI assistants may appear trustworthy, independently recomputing the underlying data marks the critical difference between merely assuming a number is accurate and definitively knowing it.
