# Data Validation First

Look at the data before you draw a conclusion from it

## What this does

An analysis built on data nobody looked at closely can be confidently wrong. This puts inspecting and validating the data first, before conclusions or transformations get written. Reach for it at the start of any analysis, transformation, or modeling job.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Inspect a dataset before analyzing it
- Check the data before writing a transformation
- Validate what you have before modeling

## Questions

### Is Data Validation First safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Data Validation First and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit fc163ba8a12b, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/data-validation-first.
