Preflight

A head start on understanding your data.

Start with findings, not a blank page.

Unfamiliar files. Conflicting records. Questions you haven’t thought to ask yet.

Before you’ve had to assemble every check yourself, Preflight examines the data you choose and brings forward findings worth a closer look. Follow the evidence, decide what matters and share what you learn.

Worked investigation

Here is what a head start looks like.

Preflight examined seven HMRC spending files and identified a recurring transaction number. The evidence established the recurrence, not the business explanation.

Can we rely on that number as a unique row identifier? A meaningful question to investigate, without first constructing every preliminary check.

Preflight report finding for transaction number 5100012634, showing 18 records in 8,209 usable values and no single strong explanatory pattern
Unretouched excerpt from the exported Preflight examination report.

5100012634 appears in 18 records in the compatible six-file, 8,209-record group. That does not establish duplicate payments.

What does your next move involve?

A migration to prepare. Sources to bring together. Records to match. Data you need to understand before deciding what comes next.

See how an investigation can give you a more informed starting point.

  1. Migration and integration

    What needs a closer look before we build our mappings and plans around this data?

  2. Identity and matching

    What do these records represent—and what evidence do we have for deciding which belong together?

  3. Mergers and acquisitions

    What are we actually bringing together, and which assumptions still need checking?

  4. Making sense of many sources

    What have we got, which sources belong together, and where should we begin?

Carry the evidence forward

You should not have to do the investigation twice.

Once to find something. Again to reconstruct what you checked, explain it to the team and show the evidence behind it.

Preflight brings findings, context and supporting evidence together, so colleagues can inspect, question and reuse the work—not just accept a conclusion.

Add business context. Carry out another check. Let AI use the evidence alongside other information. Continue in Preflight or take the next step elsewhere.

Build on the investigation. Don’t spend the next conversation reconstructing it.
