**How we define "dirty" data:**
Dirty data is any information that is inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, duplicated, or outdated within a business system. It’s seemingly small, common occurrences within organizations, like:
* The customer record is missing a phone number.
* The product entry exists twice under slightly different names.
* The sales figure doesn't match the finance report for the same period.
This matters because it's waste - not just in making wrong decisions or hurting AI initiatives that might be built on bad data, but also the hidden friction when teams spend 5 minutes finding a spreadsheet ... or when a customer gets annoyed because the automated chatbot has something wrong ... or a dashboard the C-suite uses isn't fully trusted, so teams have to grab additional context manually.
It adds up for orgs of all sizes. Larger businesses are hurt more, of course.
Methodology, sources, etc. in first comment - thanks!
