- Data consistency means the same data gives the same result across different systems and reports. In my role, I ensured sales figures matched between the CRM, database, and dashboards. I often reconciled totals to catch mismatches early. A common challenge was timing differences in data refresh cycles. Inconsistent definitions also caused confusion across teams. To fix this, I aligned on common business rules and metrics. Sometimes I used a single source of truth table. This helped stakeholders trust the numbers they were seeing.
