Risky relationship

What this rule checks

A relationship is bidirectional or many-to-many.

Everscope evaluates only the metadata needed for this deterministic check. It does not read dataset rows or values.

Why this is a risk

Ambiguous filter propagation can produce unexpected totals and expensive queries.

In a governed environment this can weaken traceability, operational reliability, or the evidence available to reviewers and auditors.

How to resolve it

1. Validate results and prefer a star schema with single-direction filtering where equivalent.
2. Validate the change with the accountable owner, rerun the same metadata scan, and retain the before-and-after evidence.
