Data validation diagnostics run to ensure high-quality, accurate, and complete data are available for LifeTracks shall include, but not be limited to:

A. Checking that all tables, records, and fields, and the full contents of each field have been successfully transmitted and read;

B. Comparing record counts between the source data and the data transmitted to the third-party contractor; and
