Why does data quality matter?

When you're basing decisions on evidence, that information needs to be right. Why else have it? Poor evidence can lead to misuse of funds and inefficiencies. It's vital to get it right.

Dr Andrew McHugh, UBDC / University of Glasgow -

As an academic research institute it's essential we understand the data we work with. We used Acorn data from CACI to test Huq's data across multiple demographic areas. The results from our analysis are very positive and show that the data is highly representative.
