Hyphenated pairs everywhere

These pairs are hyphenated in every position. Keep the hyphen before a noun when grammar needs it, as in a high-quality report, and drop it after the noun, as in the report is high quality. Weak alone.

Watch for

third-party, cross-functional, client-facing, data-driven, decision-making, well-known, high-quality, real-time, long-term, end-to-end

Before and after.

Before

The team is cross-functional, the report is high-quality, and the methodology is data-driven.

After
