Review questions — Governance purpose and decisions

Integrated summary: Governance purpose and decisions

Data governance begins with the decision being served, not the name of a committee or tool. When teams disagree about 'completed order,' the steward assembles affected-record evidence and proposes a rule, and the custodian tests implementation effects, but the planning decision owner approves the indicator's meaning. A bounded charter states data domain, roles, authority, escalation and review cadence. A field is not critical merely because someone labels it so; identify its use. Technical permission to edit a query does not resolve a definition dispute. For conflicting consumers, show alternatives, consequences and missing evidence, then record who approved the version in use. A provisional figure may be contained and published with its population and uncertainty visible. Temporary containment is not proof that the originating defect has been repaired.
