Auto-diff every model on every PR? Tempting.
But you’ll get ⚠️ dozens of alerts, most irrelevant.

CI without context = alert spam.

Real-world data work needs more than diffs: what changed, why, and what to do.

Human judgment matters.
Recce helps automate with opinions.

Your data passed all tests but your CEO still questions the quarterly report.
Why the data is “correct” to you but not to your CEO?

#datacorrectness is contextual and temporal.

If it's subjective, why are we still building validation like it's objective?

Hot take: Automating ALL data diffs by default is backwards 🔥
