# Overview

> What Data Integrity does, the core vocabulary, and the severity scale that every scan rolls up to.

Blindsight Data Integrity scans your datasets for the problems that
silently break ML training: wrong labels, outliers, poisoned samples,
hidden biases, leaked secrets, prompt injections, and compliance
gaps. It then helps you triage, fix, report, and audit the results.

Use this page to learn the vocabulary; every other page in this
section assumes it.

## Getting started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in">
    Open the workspace URL in your welcome email and sign in with the
    owner credentials your account manager sent you. Invited
    teammates receive an **Accept Invite** email that sets their
    password and drops them straight into the workspace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set workspace defaults">
    Open **Settings, General** to set your workspace name and
    timezone. The timezone controls how schedules and audit
    timestamps render across the app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a data source">
    Open **Settings, Integrations** and connect at least one source
    you plan to scan. The supported list lives on the
    [Integrations](/data-integrity/integrations) page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a project, upload a dataset, scan it">
    Projects organise everything. From there, upload a dataset and
    launch a scan from the dataset detail page. The
    [Quickstart](/quickstart) walks the full first run.
  </Step>

## Core concepts

| Concept      | What it means                                                                                           |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Project**  | Workspace container. Holds datasets, scan history, report templates, integration settings, schedules.   |
| **Dataset**  | The actual data being analyzed: image folder, NIfTI volume, text corpus, detection set.                 |
| **Scan**     | A single run of one engine against one dataset version. Produces results, artifacts, and a severity.    |
| **Result**   | A per‑item finding produced by a scan (one image, one paragraph, one case).                             |
| **Healing**  | The remediation phase. Produces a cured copy of the dataset with the bad samples fixed or removed.      |
| **Branch**   | A virtual version of a dataset, driven by a manifest CSV. Lets you compare and iterate without copying. |
| **Report**   | A generated document (PDF / HTML / JSON) describing findings, optionally in a compliance format.        |
| **Severity** | A four‑level rollup: `HEALTHY`, `UNHEALTHY−`, `UNHEALTHY+`, `CRITICAL`.                                 |

## The severity scale

Every engine rolls up to the same four‑level scale so dashboards,
reports, and the audit trail stay consistent.

| Label          | When you'll see it                                                               |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **HEALTHY**    | No issues found. Dataset is safe to use as is.                                   |
| **UNHEALTHY−** | A small number of issues (typically \< 15% of samples). Review before training.  |
| **UNHEALTHY+** | Significant problems (15–50%). Training on this data is risky.                   |
| **CRITICAL**   | Majority of samples flagged (≥ 50%) or severe leakage / poisoning. Do not train. |

<Tip>
  The same severity badge shows up everywhere a dataset appears: the
  dataset table, the dashboard widgets, the compliance report cover
  page, and webhook payloads. Treat it as the single‑number summary.
