Interview Prompt
The section's 90/10 rule: ninety percent of silent failures are caught by ten percent of the possible checks. The four cheap ones are row count (against a recent baseline), null rate (per column), uniqueness (on the primary key), and freshness (latest record vs current time). They run in seconds, need only basic SQL, and are explainable to a finance partner without a phone call. Pick row count, null, uniqueness, or freshness on the canvas: add four quality-check nodes between the transform and the mart, one per check, each named so the assertion and the threshold or baseline window are visible.
