You can't score a relationship.
Trust in your data comes from carefully crafting the codebook. This relationship cannot be reduced to a number.
Validation is a relationship you build with your codebook. You learn where it's reliable. You learn where it isn't. You learn which round of refinement made which field trustworthy.
after three rounds of minting, you know:
- Question 1✓rock solid
- Question 2✓rock solid
- Question 3✓rock solid
- Question 4✓rock solid
- Question 5✓rock solid
- Question 6✓rock solid
- Question 7✓rock solid
- Question 8✓rock solid
- Question 9⚠needs a human eye on historical documents
- Question 10✓works beautifully now — didn't until round 3
A score collapses all this into one dimension. You know a codebook the way you know a colleague — specifically, over time.
Earned through use. Not granted by a metric.
Helping you build a trusting relationship with your data.
