Session Goal: The session aimed to transition from exploratory data analysis to operational planning for election outreach, focusing on data management and integration strategies.

Key Activities:

• Transitioned to operational planning for election outreach by creating an elections roster from an alumni dataset and defining actionable segments.
• Designed a data lake for election operations, detailing its structure, strengths, risks, and layout for organizing data sources and operational marts.
• Set up a directory and file structure for the FCEN Intel Lake project, including necessary folders, placeholder files, a strict .gitignore, and documentation seeding.
• Developed a plan for data lake evolution, focusing on organizing data lineage and creating canonical tables.
• Analyzed file modification timestamps to identify structural issues and propose a controlled migration strategy.
• Outlined an integration strategy for FCEN elections and CRM data, detailing phases of data evolution and integration contracts.
• Made decisions on FCEN deduplication, structuring evidence artifacts, and planning next steps.

Achievements:

• Established a clear framework for transitioning to operational planning in election outreach.
• Created a structured plan for data lake design and management, including integration strategies and deduplication decisions.

Pending Tasks:

• Implement the proposed integration contracts between the two data lakes.
• Execute the deduplication next steps in the FCEN lake.
