Many-to-many relationship

What this rule checks

A relationship connects many values on both sides.

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

Why this is a risk

Many-to-many paths can create ambiguity and totals that are difficult to explain or reproduce.

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

How to resolve it

1. Review the model grain and prefer a governed bridge or star-schema design where feasible.
2. Validate the change with the accountable owner, rerun the same metadata scan, and retain the before-and-after evidence.
