Brief to file
Scope agreed before anything gets built.
Every file begins as a brief, not as a search. The file is deduplicated against anything previously supplied to you. The file is built to be used, not to be impressive.
Decay review
Identifying the records that have stopped being current, and how many of them there are.
Encoding repair
Fixing characters mangled in transit before they reach a system that will mangle them again.
Intake review
Reading an existing file and reporting what is wrong with it before any work is proposed.
