Stop trusted data from quietly going stale
Every Monday, WebRun opens Alation, finds the certified or endorsed data assets that have not been reviewed within your review window, works out who stewards each one and how heavily it is used, messages each steward their own list on WhatsApp, and books a review slot in Google Calendar.

How do I make sure certified data in Alation gets reviewed on time?
WebRun opens Alation every Monday and finds certified data assets that have not been reviewed inside your review window. It ranks them by usage, notes the downstream reports that depend on them, messages each steward their own overdue list on WhatsApp, and books a review slot in Google Calendar.
- Ageing certifications get a dated review instead of drifting
- Stewards are chased only about the assets they actually own
- The most heavily used data is reviewed first, by usage rank

Questions, answered
Can it remove or downgrade a certification itself?
No. WebRun reads the catalog and reports what is overdue. It never changes a trust flag, edits documentation, or deprecates an asset. Every certification decision stays with the human steward.
Who gets messaged about an overdue review?
Only the internal steward listed on each asset, and only about their own assets. WebRun never messages the analysts or business users who consume the downstream reports.
How is the review window set?
You choose it, for example 90 days since the last documentation update. WebRun measures each asset against that window and ranks the overdue ones by usage, so the most depended-on data is reviewed first.
