Ad-hoc validation scripts accumulate from past incidents but don't transfer to new contexts. Under time constraints, data practitioners can only rely on validation scripts. Impact Radius addresses this challenge through metadata analysis alone.

Metadata analysis eliminates unnecessary validation queries. Data practitioners commonly validate dbt changes by checking row counts across all downstream models: 47 models generating significant warehouse costs to identify the 3 that actually changed. Try using metadata only

The validation need is universal. The setup capability varies significantly. Teams with robust infrastructure can implement comprehensive validation processes. Teams without DevOps have troubles. The gap creates an adoption barrier. Read more on closing this gap in our blog.

Setup complexity creates an adoption barrier. Recce generates strong interest during demos, but implementation reveals a disconnect. Asking data teams to navigate DevOps processes creates friction. Read more about how Recce is addressing this in our blog.

'If breaking change analysis works at the column level, could impact radius be narrowed to the column level too?' The solution seemed simple: just combine the breaking change analysis and column-level linage, right? Wrong. 😵

**Data validation is only useful if teams adopt it.** Early demos of Recce, which highlights exactly what changes and how to validate, showed strong response. But low setup success rates revealed a different story. The team is now reducing this friction. Stay tuned.

While building breaking change analysis and CLL, a question emerged: 'What if impact could be seen at the column level?' Instead of 'this model has a breaking change, validate everything downstream,' teams could say 'this column changed, validate only what uses it.'
