Jan 1, 2026January 2026 delivered reliability, visibility, and data-standardization improvements for the PLN Horizon to ODW workflow, with clear execution status and improved error handling driving operational resilience and faster issue detection. Reworked notebook logging and introduced a standardized S78-tables workflow to improve data quality and downstream reporting. Updated pipelines and notebooks (PLN Horizon to ODW, main appeal S78, and horizon data consolidation) to reduce handoffs and improve maintainability. Addressed a mis-match where harmonised notebook issues could appear as successful runs, increasing trust in run outcomes. Collaborated across the Planning-Inspectorate/odw-synapse-workspace with co-authored changes.
