Data profiling

Measure what each source really contains (completeness, granularity, duplicates, value ranges and quality problems) before the estimate and the design rely on it.

Use when
Data warehouse, BI or migration from sources nobody has measured yet.
Avoid when
Clean, well-known sources that were already profiled.
