Data Contract Framework Skill

When to Use

  • Establishing ownership and SLAs for mission-critical BI tables.
  • Coordinating schema changes between engineering, analytics, and RevOps.
  • Auditing data reliability before major launches or executive reporting cycles.

Framework

  1. Contract Scope – table/view name, business purpose, consumer list.
  2. Owner Matrix – technical owner, business owner, escalation contacts.
  3. SLA Definition – refresh cadence, acceptable latency, data quality thresholds.
  4. Change Workflow – approval steps, testing requirements, communication plan.
  5. Compliance & Audit – logging, version history, and retention requirements.

Templates

  • Data contract one-pager (scope, owners, SLAs, dependencies).
  • Change request form with impact assessment.
  • Audit checklist for quarterly reviews.

Tips

  • Keep contracts lightweight but enforceable—link to dbt/docs for deeper detail.
  • Automate SLA checks via dashboards and alerting.
  • Pair with audit-data-contracts to prioritize fixes and highlight risk.

Escalation

Structure and package support escalations for engineering, product, or leadership with full context, reproduction steps, and business impact. Use when an issue needs to go beyond support, when writing an escalation brief, or when assessing whether an issue warrants escalation.
