**TLDR:** The process of analyzing how a change in a data asset or business logic will propagate across the platform.

<p>Change propagation analysis aims to understand the chain effects that a modification in a table, schema, or calculation logic may create across the platform. Without this analysis, seemingly small changes can cause major breakage in dashboards, models, and operational workflows. It is indispensable for controlled evolution in layered data architectures. Strong propagation analysis provides risk visibility before a change is introduced.</p>
