Relationship joining columns with unrelated names

"Relationship joining columns with unrelated names" is one of the maintainability checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n relationship(s) join two columns whose names share nothing. It is a hygiene note: provable, worth fixing, but it never moves the health score. Name both sides after the same business key, or document the relationship.

What is detected

n relationship(s) join two columns whose names share nothing. It may be correct, but a reader cannot verify it from the diagram, and a wrong join of that shape is invisible in review.

Why it matters

Hygiene and conventions. Reported in its own section and never deducted from the health score.

How to fix it

Name both sides after the same business key, or document the relationship.
