The Importance of Context in Data Preparation

Data preparation often requires gathering context directly from the business rather than solely analyzing the data itself. Walking around to ask colleagues about specific fields, such as those in Salesforce, is essential to clarify ambiguities and inherent complexities in the data. This crucial process underscores that data prep is not just about tidying up data; it's also about understanding the organization's unique operational idiosyncrasies. Solving these context-related issues may eventually necessitate developing agents that can interact with individuals and ask clarifying questions.
