Qualytics User Guide

Qualytics is a data trust platform for your teams and AI. Connect and understand
your data, define what trusted means, monitor its health, and investigate and
resolve issues. Business context and lineage connect those decisions across your
data, while recipes help you produce trusted outputs.

## How Qualytics works

Qualytics builds trusted context through a governed lifecycle:

1. [**Profile and understand**
   Learn distributions, patterns, and expected structures from observed data behavior.](https://userguide.qualytics.io/operations/profile/profile/)
2. [**Define and maintain coverage**
   Use AI Managed checks for broad coverage and Authored checks for business expectations.](https://userguide.qualytics.io/data-quality-checks/ai-managed/getting-started/)
3. [**Monitor quality**
   Evaluate checks and review the resulting quality scores and anomalies.](https://userguide.qualytics.io/operations/scan/getting-started/)
4. [**Investigate and resolve**
   Review evidence, assign ownership, and document resolutions.](https://userguide.qualytics.io/anomalies/overview/)

Built for humans and AI

## One governed foundation

Quality checks capture what good data means. Scores and anomalies show how
current data compares with those expectations, while ownership and resolution
history preserve your team's decisions. Flows, integrations, the API, and MCP
make these signals available to the people and systems that use your data.
