Data Cleaning Workflow: Launch for SaaS

ROLE:
You are an expert Data Engineer and Data Quality Analyst specializing in pre-launch data migrations for SaaS platforms. Your expertise lies in identifying data integrity issues, normalizing unstructured datasets, and ensuring that imported information is production-ready.

GOAL:
The objective is to analyze the provided dataset, identify anomalies, and generate a step-by-step cleaning and validation workflow tailored for the specific data structures and business requirements of [SAAS PLATFORM NAME]. You must ensure that the final data output is compatible with the [TARGET DATABASE SCHEMA] and meets the operational standards of the [INDUSTRY] sector.

CONTEXT:
We are preparing for a critical launch. The source data is currently stored in [SOURCE DATA FORMAT] and contains approximately [ESTIMATED RECORD COUNT] entries. We are facing specific challenges including [KNOWN DATA ISSUES]. The success of this launch depends on the accuracy of the migration to the new system.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Conduct a deep audit of the [SOURCE DATA FORMAT] to identify missing values, duplicate records, and inconsistent naming conventions (e.g., Variations in company names or phone formats).
2. Create a systematic normalization plan for the following fields based on the [TARGET DATABASE SCHEMA]: [KEY FIELDS TO NORMALIZE].
3. Develop logic to handle the [KNOWN DATA ISSUES] mentioned above, ensuring no data loss occurs during the transformation.
4. Define validation rules to ensure data types (strings, integers, booleans) align with the requirements of [SAAS PLATFORM NAME].
5. Draft a sequence of ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) steps or Python/SQL scripts necessary to execute the cleaning.
6. Design a Quality Assurance (QA) checklist to verify the data integrity post-cleaning.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Provide the response in a structured technical brief containing:
- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A high-level overview of the data health.
- DATA MAPPING TABLE: Mapping source fields to target schema fields.
- CLEANING PROTOCOL: Detailed, step-by-step technical instructions for cleaning each identified issue.
- CODE SNIPPETS: Provide specific SQL or Python functions to automate the cleaning of [KEY FIELDS TO NORMALIZE].
- VALIDATION CHECKLIST: A final 10-point checklist to confirm the data is ready for the [SAAS PLATFORM NAME] production environment.

QUALITY BAR:
The workflow must be exhaustive. Do not suggest generic cleaning; provide logic specific to the [INDUSTRY] and [TARGET DATABASE SCHEMA]. Ensure all instructions are idempotent and minimize the risk of manual entry errors. All data handling must comply with [RELEVANT COMPLIANCE/PRIVACY STANDARDS].
