Episode 29: Data hygiene

Nov 3, 2026

Last week I went to my dentist for a regular cleaning, and somewhere between the picking and the fluoride it hit me that your company’s data needs the exact same check-up. In this episode I run a seven-question data hygiene survey, the same questions I use to find out whether a decision you want to make with AI is actually backed by data you can trust, where it lives, who owns it, how often it updates, and whether two people on your team would ever come back with the same answer. If you are weighing an AI pilot or already running one, this episode tells you what to check before you spend another dollar on a tool. Press play and run the survey against your own business before your next AI conversation.
