Validation Tool
From Inputs to Trusted Data — Automated Validation and Exception Management
This solution outlines a managed, end-to-end pipeline for collecting business data inputs, automatically validating them with AI, directing exceptions to responsible parties, and publishing reliable data into your dedicated data model.
Business Problem
-
Inputs captured across emails/Excel are inconsistent, late, and hard to trace.
-
Data quality issues are detected too late (at reporting), creating rework and delays.
-
Ownership and accountability for fixes are unclear; audit trail is fragmented.
-
Manual updates into reporting files increase operational risk.
Automation flow
-
Power Apps: users enter data in a standardized form (mandatory fields, dropdowns, evidence).
-
AI validation: automatic completeness, format, plausibility/outlier, and consistency checks; outputs escalation is real time.
-
Data owner routing: exceptions go to the responsible owner for correction/approval with link back to the record.
-
Excel update: validated/approved records populate a governed Excel Online table.
-
Power BI: report refreshes from Excel and optionally includes data-quality KPIs
Client value
-
Faster reporting cycle through early error detection.
-
Higher data quality and fewer reconciliations.
-
Clear accountability and audit-ready traceability (who/what/when/why).
-
Reduced manual handling and operational risk
Integrability
One of the strongest advantages of this Validation Tool is its native integrability across the Microsoft E365 ecosystem.
