How it works

Five steps from a messy spreadsheet to a signed-off decision.

See the full workflow →
STEP 01

Upload your file

CSV, XLSX or XLS. DataForge previews the sheet and identifies the columns.

STEP 02

Confirm the columns

Correct any misclassified columns so the audit runs against the right data types.

STEP 03

Run the audit

Every row is checked for errors, duplicates, formatting drift and anomalies.

STEP 04

Approve fixes

Review each suggested correction and decide what changes actually go in.

STEP 05

Generate the report

Clean data becomes charts, findings, risks and recommended actions.

What we detect

Eight categories of things going wrong in your data.

Each category maps to a real spreadsheet failure mode — with an explanation you can read, not a mysterious score.

Missing values

Blank or incomplete cells, particularly in columns your report depends on.

Duplicate records

Exact duplicates and likely duplicates based on matching fields.

Formatting inconsistencies

Mixed date formats, inconsistent currency symbols, numbers stored as text.

Invalid values

Negative quantities where they should not exist, impossible dates, invalid formats.

Calculation mismatches

Totals that do not match quantity times unit price, and other arithmetic that fails to reconcile.

Category inconsistencies

Multiple spellings or abbreviations that refer to the same category, standardised into one.

Statistical anomalies

Records that stand well outside the pattern of the rest of your dataset, flagged for review.

Date and currency drift

Multiple date formats or currency notations in one column, silently distorting your totals.

The report

A management report you can actually send.

Executive summary, key metrics, charts, findings, risks, opportunities and recommended actions — with the underlying data cited for every claim.

Executive summary

Plain-language overview of the dataset and its most important findings.

Data quality summary

Overall score, number of detected issues, approved corrections, and categories most affected.

Key business metrics

Revenue, transactions, average order value, gross profit and margin — calculated where the columns exist.

Charts

Up to five charts chosen from your actual columns — revenue over time, sales by product, top customers and more.

Findings and risks

Patterns and risks worth reviewing, presented as observations, not guaranteed conclusions.

Recommended actions

Prioritised action plan with a suggested owner and timeline for each recommendation.

DataForge provides automated analysis and decision support based on the information you upload. Findings and recommendations should be reviewed before making financial, operational or strategic decisions.
For teams that live in spreadsheets

Built for the people who make the call.

Frequently asked

What people ask before signing up.

No. Your original upload is kept exactly as you sent it. Any corrections you approve are applied to a separate cleaned version that you can download alongside the original.
CSV, XLSX and XLS. PDFs, images and Word documents are not supported yet, because extracting reliable structured data from them adds a layer of uncertainty we prefer not to introduce.
The score is a weighted combination of completeness (missing values), uniqueness (duplicates), consistency (formatting drift), validity (invalid values) and calculation integrity. Every score comes with a breakdown you can read.
No. All totals, percentages, comparisons and chart values are computed directly from your dataset. The AI handles the plain-language explanations, findings and recommended actions — never the arithmetic.
Yes. Every correction requires approval before it enters the cleaned dataset. "Approve all safe fixes" only applies to low-risk formatting corrections; anything that could materially change a number stays behind an explicit approve.
