Gigo In Infrastructure
Fix the Inputs, Save the Project: GIGO in Infrastructure Delivery
The Hidden Problem
"You can't trust the output if the input's already broken." That's the silent flaw behind rework, schedule slippage, and misinformed decisions on infrastructure projects. It's not just about missing data — it's about trusting what's invalid, duplicated, or out of sync.
Why Bad Data Creates Bigger Risks
From field checklists to cost logs, manual data entry and Excel-heavy workflows flood projects with issues that surface too late in board reports.
- Misspelled fields and inconsistencies
- Reversed progress updates
- Duplicate or blank entries
- Missed logical connections across forms and systems
Enter GIGO Protection
GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out) isn't a new concept — but it's more critical now than ever. Most systems accept data without validating its structure, consistency, or patterns. Mavryck does the opposite. We built a real-time engine to detect data flaws before they become decision flaws.
How Mavryck Detects Bad Data Before It Spreads
Our comprehensive approach validates data quality across multiple dimensions before issues can impact project decisions.
- Data Hygiene Scanning: We validate and flag anomalies in schedule updates, risk logs, and checklists before they're used downstream
- Semantic Error Detection: Using natural language logic, we catch typos that break automation (e.g., "Platfrom" vs. "Platform")
- Duplicate & Reversal Catch: Mavryck identifies repeated actions, reversed progress, and copy-paste risks that quietly erode progress reporting
- GIGO Confidence Index: Each file or report receives a data quality score — empowering teams to use it with full or cautious confidence
A Quick Case: The Typo That Blocked Closeout
In one commissioning project, the checklist field for "Platform" was repeatedly entered as "Platfrom." It seemed harmless — until automated scripts failed to process those records, blocking final signoff. Mavryck's GIGO scan flagged the issue instantly — a week before manual checks would've uncovered the error.
Why It Matters
Bad data causes good teams to make bad decisions. GIGO protection means no more chasing ghosts, running reports with invisible flaws, or signing off on false progress. It's not about perfection — it's about confidence. With Mavryck, clean data becomes a controllable asset, not a blind spot.
