Data, access, and validation

A migration is not considered complete when files have merely been copied. Checks, tolerances, and validation evidence are defined according to the risk and engagement.

Method & trust

Questions

Questions about this service

Can you clean a single Excel file?

Yes, when the required outcome and cleanup rules can be clearly defined. A small engagement does not require a large software program.

How do you validate a migration?

Checks may include record counts, control totals, required fields, formats, duplicates, and client-approved samples.

Do you send data to a public AI service?

Not by default. Any use of an external service or AI model must be necessary, assessed, and agreed in scope before data is sent.
