How to Stop a Broken Source Feed From Publishing Misleading Reports

A pipeline can complete while a source feed is incomplete, duplicated, or unexpectedly delayed.

Checks to make

Validate freshness, row counts, key uniqueness, and expected ranges before publishing. Mark affected datasets as delayed or invalid, notify report owners, and preserve the last trusted snapshot when appropriate. Add recovery and backfill steps to the pipeline runbook.
