+# Data Accuracy
+
+## Status
+Accepted.
+
+## Context
+The Guardian Service Catalogue sources data from AWS, GitHub, Snyk etc. using [CloudQuery](02-cloudquery.md).
+
+The vast corpus of data this has provided has enabled the department to answer questions very quickly.
+
+A previous attempt to answer the question "which account is this S3 bucket in?" has highlighted some missing data[^1].
+
+With Service Catalogue now driving business decisions through RepoCop or SLO dashboards, we want to verify the accuracy of the data it holds.
+
+We plan to do this by asking AWS to count the number of resources, and compare that to the count in Service Catalogue:
+1. Count the resources in Service Catalogue's database
+2. Count the resources AWS reports
+3. Alarm when these numbers differ
+
+This ADR outlines options for implementing the second item.
+
+It is also worth noting that this is only part of the data accuracy checks we'll perform.
+We will also look at the age of our data, and the volume of errors in the logs produced by CloudQuery.
+
+## Positions
+### 1. [AWS Resource Explorer](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/latest/userguide/welcome.html)
+AWS Resource Explorer allows one to search resources in an AWS account.
+It works in all regions, and provides an aggregated view of all regions.
+That is, it provides a simple way to search for resources.
+
+Although it is a free service, AWS Resource Explorer is a little tricky to roll out.
+It needs to be [enabled in each region](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/latest/userguide/manage-aggregator-region.html).
+
+AWS does provide recommendations for rolling Resource Explorer out to an organisation.
+However, it requires [Stack Sets](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/latest/userguide/manage-service-all-org-with-stacksets.html).
+Our departmental tooling doesn't yet have Stack Set support, so setup would be manual.
+
+AWS Resource Explorer also [supports a subset of AWS resources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/latest/userguide/supported-resource-types.html).
+That is, we would not be able to verify all the data in Service Catalogue.
+Notably, support for AWS CloudFormation is missing.
+
+### 2. [AWS Config](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/WhatIsConfig.html)
+AWS Config is primarily a resource compliance tool. However, it does provide:
+
+> fine-grained visibility into what resources exist
+> – https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/WhatIsConfig.html#common-scenarios
+
+We have AWS Config deployed to a few of our AWS accounts already.
+
+Similar to AWS Resource Explorer, AWS Config [supports a subset of AWS resources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/resource-config-reference.html#supported-resources).
+That is, we would not be able to verify all the data in Service Catalogue.
+
+### 3. Use the SDKs directly
+Whilst it is true that Service Catalogue's corpus is vast, we are currently only using a subset to drive business decisions. 
+Given this, we could interact with the AWS SDKs directly for the specific resources that we need.
+
+This solution would likely require more code than the others.
+However:
+- Setup cost is reduced
+- The data we verify can also be more targeted
+- It provides a framework to verify non-AWS data too
+
+## Decision
+Use the AWS SDKs directly.
