Provide Data Scientists with clean, structured input datasets for modeling and experimentation
Support Analysts and business users in understanding table structures, field definitions, and best practices for querying data
Assist in developing or refining semantic layers and reusable queries that simplify access to complex data
Create and maintain data dictionaries, schema documentation, and transformation specifications
Clearly document assumptions, business rules, and known data limitations
Contribute to internal best practices for dataset design, reproducibility, and code organization
