Femi Olatunji reported duplicate transaction records appearing in the data with slight differences, affecting unique client counts. Investigation confirmed duplicates; customer traced root cause to their own accounting system.

Problem: Duplicate transactions inflating counts and skewing reporting. Handling: Bethan Lister investigated and confirmed duplicates were real. After 4 days Femi identified the source: a duplicate entry in their accounting system. Customer cleaned up the source data. Watch: Data quality issues erode trust even when external in origin. First response took 15+ hours on a data quality issue.

    Hi, we're seeing some duplicate records in the data. We're getting the same transaction twice with slight differences. This is causing issues when we try to count unique clients. Could you investigate?

    Hi Femi, apologies for the delayed response. I've picked this up. Just so I've got this right - you're seeing duplicate transactions in the data? Can you give me an example of what you're seeing so I can investigate?

    Reviewed data. Confirms duplicates in transaction records. Likely due to duplicate source records. Ewan to investigate root cause on our data pipeline.

    We found the issue on our side - our accounting system had a duplicate entry that was pulling through. We've cleaned it up. Should the duplicates be gone now from the brain?
