Every business, big or small, relies on data to make smart decisions, improve operations, and stay ahead of the competition. With massive amounts of data flowing in daily, keeping it clean, accurate, and usable is important. That\u2019s where <strong>data hygiene<\/strong> comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we dive into the checklist and tools, here\u2019s something to think about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The global data science platform market was worth USD 103.93 billion in 2023.
