Critical Data Elements

Critical Data Elements (CDE) is a marker to explicitly identify critical business terms for focused error logging and reporting within the data quality framework. CDE is used to distinguish business significant failures from general data quality failures so that DQ results, error tables and reporting outputs can specifically indicate whether a failed record has a CDE related issue. 

CDE makes error reporting and remediation efforts more meaningful by separating critical errors from non-critical ones. This supports clear reporting of CDE error counts, helps indicate whether remediation is needed and makes error output more useful for downstream consumption and prioritization.
