Problem

Scenario

You are working on a reporting pipeline for a dashboard that pulls from a large operational dataset with missing values, inconsistent field names, mixed date formats, and duplicate records. The source data is used by analysts and business users, so the output needs clear rules for cleaning, standardization, and traceability.

Question

How would you approach a request to visualize a large, messy dataset with many missing or inconsistent fields?
