Rishabh's response demonstrates a basic understanding of handling inconsistent and incomplete data. He mentions pausing the analysis, cleaning the data, and revalidating the database, which aligns with the benchmark response. However, he lacks depth in explaining how he would gather missing information from the concerned department and clarify discrepancies. Additionally, his response could be more structured and detailed to showcase a comprehensive approach to data correction and validation. To improve, Rishabh could have elaborated on communication with departments and specific validation techniques.
