+# Analytics Quality Gates Skill
+
+## When to Use
+- Designing validation steps for new models or dashboards.
+- Setting up automated data quality monitoring.
+- Running incident reviews after data breaks.
+
+## Framework
+1. **Test Coverage** – schema, freshness, unique, referential, accepted values, volume thresholds.
+2. **Alerting** – severity tiers, alert channels, on-call rotation, escalation policies.
+3. **Incident Response** – triage checklist, communication templates, resolution targets.
+4. **Change Management** – approval workflow, rollback plan, audit logging.
+5. **Postmortems** – root cause analysis, remediation tasks, knowledge base updates.
+
+## Templates
+## Templates
+- **QA Checklist**: See `assets/qa_checklist.md` for validation steps.
+- **Quality matrix** (model/table → tests → owner → SLA).
+- **Incident playbook** (trigger, response steps, communication log).
+- **Change request form** with risk assessment.
+
+## Tips
+- Tie quality gates to CI/CD or dbt Cloud jobs to block bad deploys.
+- Keep alert fatigue low by tuning thresholds.
+- Document every incident for future prevention.
