Spotlight 💡 How Important is Data Quality and How Sequentum Builds Trust in Data? - Sarah McKenna - CEO, Sequentum Sarah McKenna emphasizes that data quality is a critical focus at Sequentum, where the company has developed a platform designed to ingest and deliver high-quality data, primarily sourced through web scraping. Recognizing the inherent challenges of web scraping—such as frequent website changes and bot-blocking technologies—Sequentum has spent over 15 years refining its platform to validate data at every step of the process. The platform’s validation process covers all aspects of the data lifecycle, including content on web pages, backend APIs, and documents. It applies comprehensive validation rules, such as visual checks, syntax verification, and value range assessments. To address the noise that validation can generate, Sequentum also incorporates success criteria to ensure error rates remain within acceptable thresholds. McKenna points out that while quality is an essential component of trust, true trust requires transparency. As a data vendor offering both licensed platforms and managed data services, Sequentum provides clients with detailed audit trails whenever questions arise. For example, if there is a gap in the data due to a website being temporarily down, Sequentum offers evidence such as screenshots, ticket records, and documentation of when data collection resumed. The company maintains a strict policy of transparency, even when clients request interpolated data to fill gaps. Instead, Sequentum provides the necessary tools for clients to manage such decisions themselves, ensuring the integrity of its processes. McKenna highlights that Sequentum’s audit logs play a significant role in building trust. These logs detail every aspect of the data collection process, including the timing, methods, agent versions, schedules, and adherence to ethical guidelines. This level of documentation allows stakeholders to independently review the data journey, understand any discrepancies, and verify the actions taken. By breaking down silos and enabling stakeholders to access this information independently, Sequentum fosters trust and confidence in its data operations, according to McKenna.
