DATA DIAGNOSTIC
Know something is wrong. Not sure what to fix first?
You don’t need to commission a six-month data programme to find out. A Bredge Data Diagnostic gives you a clear view of what’s working, where reliability or efficiency is breaking down, and what deserves attention first.
We inspect the current state, then prioritise.
We map how data actually moves today, mark where it breaks down, and turn that into a sequenced list of the changes most likely to improve decision-making.
PRIORITISED FINDINGS
You may need a diagnostic if…
- Different teams report different numbers.
- Recurring reports still require manual work.
- Dashboards exist but aren’t trusted.
- Analysts spend most of their time producing reports.
- Metrics have no agreed definitions.
- Source systems have accumulated inconsistencies.
- You’re considering a warehouse or BI rebuild and don’t yet know whether it’s necessary.
- You’re about to hire a data team and want to understand what they’ll inherit.
What we review.
Business questions
What does leadership actually need to know repeatedly?
Source systems
Where does the relevant information originate?
Data movement
How does it travel between systems today?
Definitions
Do important metrics mean the same thing to different teams?
Reporting
Which outputs are useful, duplicated, manual or unreliable?
Quality
Where are there missing records, inconsistent identities or unexplained differences?
Ownership
Who maintains the process when something breaks?
You leave with a map, not another diagnosis meeting.
You can implement it with us, use your internal team, or take it elsewhere.

If the diagnostic points to a defined piece of work, a Data Project is often the next step.
