Drift Detection

Drift detection is an advanced engine capability for comparing current data behavior to an earlier baseline. It is useful when a dataset can still pass simple checks while quietly changing in ways operators care about.

When To Use It

  • baseline distributions matter, not just row-level validity
  • upstream systems change gradually and silently
  • model quality needs trend-aware monitoring

Operational Guidance

  • pair drift detection with profiling and baseline management
  • use it as an additional signal, not a replacement for core checks
  • keep severity and notification policy explicit so expected seasonal changes do not page the team unnecessarily
