dqtlib
A Data Questioning Tool that tells you the what and surfaces the why.
Unifies your scattered data into one source of truth. Upgrades your existing models, dashboards, and queries into a causal semantic layer you didn't have to write. Picks up on trends and surfaces business insights, all wrapped in a quality harness that puts guardrails on the AI so the reports it generates stay on-spec.
pip install dqtlib
The import name is dqt:
from dqt import Check, Runner, MemoryStore
Full documentation and examples: https://github.com/antonbarr-data/dqt
Quality
All 64 detectors are benchmarked against labeled synthetic datasets. Benchmark scripts and raw results live in the GitHub repo and are run on every release:
Median F1: 1.00 | Detectors with F1 >= 0.8: 52/64 | Detectors with F1 >= 0.6: 58/64
Per-detector breakdown: examples/benchmarks/results_summary.md
Reproduce by cloning the repo and running:
python scripts/run_benchmark_suite.py --quick
python scripts/generate_benchmark_summary.py
Adapters
Six adapters ship in v1.0. Nightly CI runs against live credentials for the cloud warehouses.
| Adapter | CI |
|---|---|
| PostgreSQL (local) | bundled — no credentials needed |
| ClickHouse |  |
| Snowflake |  |
| BigQuery |  |
| Databricks |  |
| Local (DuckDB) | bundled — no credentials needed |
Slack alerts
Run a check suite and post results to Slack in three lines:
from dqt import Runner, MemoryStore
from dqt.notifications import SlackNotifier
suite = Runner(MemoryStore()).run_suite(checks, adapter)
SlackNotifier().send_suite_report(suite, title="nightly orders checks")
# set SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL env var — no bot token required
Control which checks appear in the message with level:
# only failures
SlackNotifier().send_suite_report(suite, level="fail")
# warnings + failures (default)
SlackNotifier().send_suite_report(suite, level="warn")
# every check including passes
SlackNotifier().send_suite_report(suite, level="all")

Detector documentation
64 statistical detectors across 10 groups — drift, outliers, time series, distribution, information theory, pattern, referential, schema, basic, and custom.
Every detector has a structured page at docs/algorithms/<group>/<slug>.md covering:
- What it computes and its parameters
- When it works well and when it fails (with concrete failure-mode table)
- Default-threshold calibration — empirical FPR across six canonical data shapes (Normal, Lognormal, Poisson, Beta, Pareto, Exponential)
- Recommended thresholds per data shape
- Canonical citation and runnable Python API example
