Understands data contract concepts and schema validation basics. Follows established contract specifications when building dbt models. Uses contract-defined schemas to validate transformation outputs against expected structures.

Understands data contract purpose and how contracts define data expectations for BI consumers. Follows contract specifications when connecting dashboards to data sources. Reports contract violations affecting report accuracy.

Understands data contract fundamentals and their role in ensuring data reliability. Follows contract schemas when writing analytical queries. Identifies and escalates data quality issues that violate established contracts.

Independently defines data contracts for transformation layer outputs using dbt contracts and schema tests. Implements automated contract validation in CI/CD pipelines. Negotiates contract changes with upstream data producers.

Independently manages data contracts for BI consumption layer. Defines metric contracts specifying aggregation rules, granularity, and freshness SLAs. Implements contract-based data validation before dashboard publication.

Independently works with data contracts to ensure analytical dataset reliability. Defines schema expectations and data quality rules for analytical tables. Collaborates with data engineers on contract specifications for analytical use cases.
