Data Cleaning

Structured cleaning of provided datasets to address agreed issues such as inconsistent formatting, duplicates, invalid values and incomplete records.

From $20 · 2-7 days

Overview

The work begins with an audit of the dataset to quantify issues per column, such as mixed date formats, stray whitespace, inconsistent casing, invalid emails or phone numbers and near-duplicate rows. Cleaning rules are confirmed with you before they are applied, especially for merging duplicates or removing records. You receive the cleaned dataset, a log of what was changed or flagged, and a summary report describing remaining issues that need a business decision.
