RIVA is a Laurens Coster original framework to analyze data sources and quality, useful before starting any data-driven project.
introduction
RIVA stands for: Recency, Importance, Volume, and Accessibility and sums up our approach to data audits. Before we start data-oriented projects with our clients, we often offer to start with a RIVA audit. It gives us a common great overview into the data sources we are dealing with and helps decide wich of them should be taken into consideration and treated as a priority. It also helps calculate the workload of data integration later on, and therefore budget the whole project on the client's side. When we start with RIVA, we can either stop right there and leave you with an overview of where your data is - or continue to help you put it to work! And sometimes, RIVA would show us that we all need to change the approach to the project and tackle it from a different direction.

The RIVA Framework revolves around four critical aspects of data evaluation: Recency, Importance, Volume, and Accessibility. Each of these metrics plays a crucial role in determining the overall impact and value of a data source:
- Recency: The freshness of the data is essential for businesses that rely on real-time information to drive their decision-making processes. The more recent the data, the higher its value in terms of relevance and accuracy.
- Importance: This criterion evaluates the significance of the data source to the organization's goals and decision-making processes. Data sources that have a higher impact on critical business decisions are considered more important and receive a higher priority.
- Volume: The size of the dataset is also a determining factor in the RIVA Framework. Larger datasets can offer more insights and patterns, but they may also require more resources to process and manage. Therefore, a balance between volume and resources must be maintained.
- Accessibility: The ease with which the data can be accessed and used by various stakeholders within the organization is another essential factor. Data sources that are readily available and easy to integrate hold higher value in the RIVA Framework.
