A [client] asked for a single downloadable package of test data spreadsheets and protocols by end of day. The files are named inconsistently and contain redundant columns. I can't spend hours reconciling every cell. Tell me whether the immediate danger is inconsistent naming, conflicting data, or missing metadata; recommend the quickest consolidation approach that won't risk misrepresenting results, and give me a one-paragraph cover note explaining the scope and where to find original files if they want them.
