Data Quality Monitoring Dashboard

📋 Overview

The Data Quality Monitoring Dashboard provides real-time monitoring and historical tracking of data quality metrics for the Citizen Intelligence Agency's four primary OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) data sources.

Version: 1.0.0
Status: Initial Implementation (Phase 1 Complete)
Last Updated: 2025-11-28

---

🎯 Purpose

Monitor and ensure the quality, freshness, completeness, and accuracy of data from external OSINT sources to maintain the integrity of political intelligence analysis performed by the CIA platform.

---

📊 Data Sources Monitored

Source	Description	Type	Update Frequency
Riksdagen API	Swedish Parliament data (members, votes, documents)	REST API	Daily
Election Authority	Electoral results and party registrations	Data Files	After elections
World Bank Open Data	Economic indicators and demographic data	REST API	Annual/Quarterly
Financial Authority (ESV)	Government financial transparency data	Data Files	Annual

---

📈 Quality Metrics Tracked

1. Data Freshness

Definition: How recently data was last updated
Measurement: Time since last successful data import
Targets:

• Riksdagen API: < 24 hours
• Election Authority: < 7 days (except election periods)
• World Bank: < 30 days
• ESV: < 90 days

Current Status: 98.5% of sources updated within target thresholds

2. Data Completeness

Definition: Percentage of expected data records present
Measurement: Actual records / Expected records × 100%
Targets:

• Riksdagen API: > 99% (349 active politicians)
• Election Authority: > 98% (29 electoral constituencies)
• World Bank: > 95% (key indicators for Sweden)
• ESV: > 97% (200+ government agencies)

Current Status: 96.2% completeness across all sources

3. Data Accuracy

Definition: Percentage of data passing validation checks
Measurement: Valid records / Total records × 100%
Validation Checks:

• Schema validation (data types, required fields)
• Range validation (dates, percentages, counts)
• Referential integrity (foreign keys)
• Business rule validation (e.g., attendance + absence ≤ 100%)

Current Status: 99.1% of records pass all validation checks

4. Active Alerts

Definition: Number of data quality issues requiring attention
Types:

• CRITICAL: Data source unavailable > 48 hours
• MAJOR: Completeness < 90%
• MINOR: Accuracy < 95%

Current Status: 2 active alerts

💻 User Interface

Dashboard Sections

1. Data Source Status

Displays real-time status of each OSINT source:

• Source name and description
• Icon indicator
• Status (Active/Inactive/Warning)
• Last update timestamp
• Visual health indicator (✓/⚠/✗)

2. Quality Metrics Cards

Four key metric cards displaying:

• Data Freshness: 98.5% (percentage of data within freshness threshold)
• Data Completeness: 96.2% (percentage of expected records present)
• Data Accuracy: 99.1% (percentage passing validation)
• Active Alerts: 2 (number of quality issues)

Each card shows:

• Metric name
• Current value (large, prominent)
• Description/context

3. Navigation

Access via Admin menu:

Main Menu → Admin → Data Quality
URL: /cia/#!admindataquality

Data Completeness:

• 98-100%: Excellent - Complete data coverage
• 95-97%: Good - Minor gaps acceptable
• 90-94%: Warning - Significant data missing
• <90%: Critical - Major data gaps

Data Accuracy:

• 97-98%: Good - Minor validation issues
• 95-96%: Warning - Review validation errors
• <95%: Critical - Systematic data quality issues

Responding to Alerts

1. Check "Active Alerts" metric
